Pretty Please

By Shambhavi

Devils sitting at lofty perch,

Angels become just a fairy tale. Melancholia becomes common, Trying to be good is just a fail.

But pretty please don't make darkness your home.

Pretty please!

Don't let them break your bones.

You need to love the place

where your soul lives,

Its dimension doesn't matter. Embrace the beauty marks, embrace what nature gives,

It is all that matters.

Someday when you wake up in timberland, away from the cold See your reflection in the water and the strength that you hold.

Pretty please! Realize the intensity of your voice and mind.

Pretty please! Don't fret

You'll age like fine wine.

You touched your wet cheeks and hid red eyes

You've survived storms

and vexed times

Oh, Darling! Once a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.

Pretty please! Look at yourself You are apprehended by

the expectation sphere

Pretty! I hope you stay the same and set off for the better

I'll wait for you here.
