It's like being a child on a warm summer night out in the backyard catching fireflies....As you see them light up, you want to run and catch them-only to cruelly place them in a jar. Convinced that the tiny holes you poked in the lid will be enough for the small devine creatures.
Most times, they survive for a very little time in those jars....
That's what they want to do to me when they see me. They think...."what a peculiar gyrl! I must have her for my collection." And so the chase begins and they grab their jars.
Only to find that this firefly is the most cleva of all.
What is it that makes humans want to possess what they deem to be the most intriguing and exotic things and people? Merely desiring is not the issue at hand....It's what we plan to do to the desired.
The unexperienced sometimes approach me....driven by their curiosity. Yet they have no game plan. No strategy. So they fumble and in most cases end up offending me. They try to tinker with my parts as if I was some gadget at The Home Depot by attempting to get into my brain and attempting to "figure me out".
They want to control me and have me under their command...but that's not how you win the queen's hand. A true king will know how to approach her. What to say and what to do...
Instead of trying to possess her, he wants to join her. Stand beside her. Should he find her ecclectic and exotic...he places her on a stage before the world for all to see. "Isn't she lovely?" He thinks..."Truly one of the world's 7th wonders"
He does not want to place her into a glass jar to slowly kill her soul and essence...He does not aim to strangle her freedom nor drain her creativity. If she is truly the most unusual and peculiar...He wants to celebrate those attributes and share with the world the goodness of her heart.
He does not approach her with tired game.
He does not boast or brag about his virility...
He would encourage me to be me and not try to hold on so tight...he prefers to hold real close.
The unexperienced wanna control me...simply because they don't wanna see me shine.
