The End of Jollity

Shriveled up, popped balloons cover rainbows.

Confetti is swept away in time.

The festivity has seized to exist.

-But I remain here standing still.

Confetti- glitter is swept under the rug of time.

-But I am the smoke still lingering behind.

I remain here ascending,

from the ashes of a strawberry incense.

-But I am the smoke still lingering behind.

My identity evaporates into thin air.

I come from the ashes of strawberry innocence.

I look back at the cherry wood incense holder and reminisce.

My identity equates to invisibility in this world because

the jollity has seized to exist.

I look back at the cherry wood incense holder and remember

Shriveled up, popped balloons deflate happiness but not my identity.
