Bright
Beautiful
Bursting with life
A pretty thing
That likes pretty things
Sweet things
Colorful things
Flitting from flower to flower
Intrigue to intrigue
Trapped by wants
Trapped by needs
Trapped by everything in between
Never stopping
Never waiting
A prison of motion constant
If only she could pause
A moment, maybe two
For stillness, peace
But if she stops
Even so briefly
She would surely die
