About Firefly Shimmer

Is it simply all just chemical reactions?

Friendships and attention, correct answers on a test.
Writing letters and receiving them, waking to a text message.
Caffeine and alcohol, pulling all nighters.
Cutting too deep, eating too little, eating too much.
Forgetting to breathe or hyperventilating.
Staying in or going out, doing schoolwork or over sleeping.
Dreaming, caught in a delusion.
Dying for a chance.

And sometimes the sun is that bittersweet shade of honeysuckle syrup.
And sometimes the chilled blue of the moon makes the heart forget reason.

And the night is filled with terror and tears and thoughts meant to break with the dawn like waves against the shore at high tide.
