fleeting moments that linger in the air,
people who live without a care,
moments that demand our presence,
a life lived in its truest essence.
we’re young and alive,
we’re birds finally leaving the nest,
to fly and strive
we’re caterpillars turning into butterflies
we’re phoenixes and from our ashes, we rise.
we are our own little revolution,
little creatures of passion and devotion.
we are the children of rebellion.
