Darkness falls in the glade
A bitter wind howls
The clouds threaten to downpour

The grass trembles in fear
The leaves waltz frantically with the violent wind

An abrupt hush settles through the meadow
The grasshoppers pause their melody

Miniature lights appear
Popping one by one
Until the entire glade is adorned with the comforting light

Darkness is no more
the merciless wind has ceased
Thanks to to the fireflies.

To be nobody but yourself in a world that is trying it&#039;s hardest every night and day to change you into everyone else is to fight the hardest battle a human being can fight, and never stop fighting.
