A Butterfly’s Story
There was once a butterfly,
A misunderstood butterfly
who still hides under her cocoon
Away from the others
Alone.
But she was never lonely
there is a difference between being lonely and alone.
Many moons ago, she filled in every sorrowful space in every flower, but not all flowers were her taste
Some found this butterfly sweet and innocent
Some found this butterfly intimidating too
And of course, others will find something that many don’t see in her
It's a secret, though
This butterfly can be so amiable yet fierce, which attracts many, but some may run away.
She doesn’t make her past the definition of herself
However, other butterflies around her, do
She is the butterfly that shares the heavy truth which may hurt one
She knows that speaking the truth can scar one and make another think twice,
But she doesn't know, that there is a whole other world out there
waiting for her
However, that doesn't stop her from spreading love,
as long as one becomes a beautiful butterfly like herself, she’s not afraid
that's her unidentified problem though
The butterfly who has suffered the most
The butterfly who has helped many but ends up losing her self-respect
And the butterfly who grows from experience,
Those special butterflies will have the most dazzling pair of wings.
And she,
Well, she is one of those special butterflies.
Perhaps even more special than the others.
I hope she is doing well, wherever she is.
