Butterfly Effect

Butterfly Effect

A Poem by Mikayla Jae

I am a wildflower.
Not a tame one, no, I am not domesticated.
I do not need you
Nor anyone else to feed and watch after me in order for me to grow
I shall grow on my own
I will be beautiful by myself
And if I so happen to be plucked, 
I will be devoured by a passing rabbit
My life will mean something to another.

I am an auntumn storm
Cold water on warm skin
Unstoppable
I am the chaos of a screaming earth
With a peaceful center 
An eye, if you will.
And with this eye, I see most
Everything that was and is,
But rarely what will.

I prefer it this way

I am the cosmos! 
As you can see, I keep Saturn's rings around my finger
And Jupiter moons adorn my brow,
I am made of diamond planets
Burning ice
Condensed star dust
and knowing unknowingness.

I am in need exploration but I'll make you work for it.
My secrets are kept hidden in clusters 
and galaxies, far, far away
I dare you try and reach for them

I am a concept, you cannot touch me!
I am a passing thought
A lingering Idea,
A subconscious decision,
I am not something you can keep in a cage
For I will twist myself into something ugly to escape
And think myself beautiful.

I am aesthetic
A sculpture made of melting ice
I am finite.
I will leave the world one day
I will journey to the cities of wherever
And I will be forgotten.




But I am not afraid.
I don't need to be remembered. I will remember myself.
And I will leave my energy behind, to create 
new storms
new flowers
new stars

I will eventually be forgotten by humans.
but the universe will always carry me with it.


I am a soul,
A small speck of light,
A glint of darkness.

I am everything.
