The Butterflies of Flight

I have a problem with this real life

i tell the work peeps I am only available part time

on the weekend

they tell me there is a zoom tonight

i ask I didnt know please let me know the time

they tell me at 5:53 after my late night post regular work  walk with Koa and me

so sorry I cant join the zoom

I am on my Friday night to be continued

till my available time to meet with you

I am so tired of people not listening

I am not gonna get on at the last minute

i am gonna take my break

I am gonna have my work life balance

I dont know why we have settled to be a slave

where is the romance?

do you feel it in the tariffs that are coming Trump's way

my own lover was supposed to come I am alone

he just texts my phone saying I just got off work i can barely stay awake

to sleepy to be with me

then just go on home and leave

i will block you again baby

its not working out for me

i need the guy strong enough to make me the first and only thought in your mind

no matter after thought thinking in this old 2024 life

I am making changes

I wont submit to being a slave

who is taxing each other

why is the marriage a contract instead of a bond between lovers

how can there be a happy ending when I see you cheating one one another

so bye 2024 see you mother fuckers

i am done being the nice girl

i should be the only one in his world

training season is over

christmas is coming

He will bring the merry to this undeserving girl

The lesson is learned

I still yearn

hopefully it will fade in time

as i fill the wind through the  butterflies of flight....

this was a very complex and dense work that covers the extremely fractured reality we are living through. a lot of things are disintegrating, including our minds. however, we see the persona fighting her way out towards the end. the butterflies of flight - a soul that is emancipated. after the end of the poem, i could see the butterfly flutter its wings and fly away out of sight.

I am glad you could see the butterfly flutter. Thanks for this amazing review.
