My worth

My childishness is for the world to see

So that they think less about me

They don’t consider me important

And to bring more joy

To this depressed reality.

But when you see the depths

Of my calmer seas

It is when you have proved yourself worthy

Despite the madness that I have shown

You stick around for the best parts of me

That is when you know

The deepest parts of me.

Right now,

I am a butterfly

Fluttering across cloud nines.

And swirling in cotton candy.

I am a distraction

To your every sorrow

And bring you hope

To the need you sow.

Even in silence

I jumped like a little kid.

But am I that incomplete?

Stick around

And you will see

That there is more

Than what you see.
