A BUTTERFLY DOESN'T KNOW

On top of a flower sits a butterfly

Holding tightly in the breeze

The longer it holds on, the more it tries

To stop the wind from setting it free

 

Once a butterfly, afraid to change

It had fears of letting go

The more it tried to rearrange

The harder the wind did blow

 

A fighting force within

Kept the butterfly from growth

No longer stuck in its chrysalis

Yet still, it does self-loathe

 

It doesn't see the changes made

It cannot see its growth

A caterpillar, it did not stay

But still, it doesn't know

 

No matter how many times it flies

It forgets that it can soar

A caterpillar it is inside

Even though, it is no more
