February 8 prompt for the Construct Cup Chinese New Year Edition. |
Free spirits who need space to be themselves. They are strong believers of chasing their dreams With energy at full throttle They can be studious and athletic Yet they are also baffled by those Who don't operate at the same speed. Wealth and fame are trivial aspirations But it is happiness that drives them Motivating them to a desperate level To reach this place of contentment. There is a darker more shadowy side as well, One that lurks and presents itself in ever changing emotions Where tempers run high, but shrivel and burn out quickly And when all is settled, they forget... Is that just bad memory? Or do they choose to let go of the past A past that holds them back, like a bridle and bit Constraining them to comply What is this irony? This freedom they need and desire Reined in by others wanting to control them A thoroughbred heart must fly Or else is will whither and die As it is confined in hopelessness. Blinders keep them focused on their goal, But they also hide what is around them Can one really be blind to one's faults? Or are they just looking to the distance Where dreams roam the vast plain Wild and free. Lines = 30. Prompt for: Feb 8 (Ren) ▼ |
