Pretty Please

By Shambhavi

Devils sitting at lofty perch

Angels become just a fairy tale

Melancholia become 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
