UnFly

Again?
Don’t look at me that way
So small
I hear your giant head laugh
And shake at me
As I ½ myself again
Pondering what was NOT
Once there was a man
Who dreamt he was not a butterfly
No, he was just a plain, old fly
Captured
In an up turned bottle
You have torn me in ½ so many times
Too many times
And I keep hoping against reason
I’ll be too small to be noticed
But you so easily find my ½‘d heart
Picking up with tweezers
Teasing pincers that dissect it yet again
Like you are plucking the wings off a helpless insect
The Unfly
Damned to crawl about, flightless
½ of nothing
Is
Nothing.

The world filled with giants when you're vulnerable. They can hurt how ever they want, destroy your world and flick you out of their dreams like a crumb. Chimauron said it first, so I won't say it again. Good One!

Nice ending. Honestly, I liked your other writes more, but this was still interesting and enjoyable to read. Maybe you'll find a nice friend to smear some butter on you.

Very nice indeed - The combination to a great write lay within this piece. The interpretation of a simple, yet constructive metaphorical backdrop always makes for a flem-tacular write. Excellent. [D&A]

Very cool idea, and well developed. It starts quickly, but reading it again gave me a better overall grasp. It's a great image and a very effective description of feeling so small. I can feel what it's like to will oneself invisible.
