Butterfly
Pain swarms around me like a protective cacoon,
Just wait awhile and I will be free soon,
All I want is to spread my wings and fly away,
But until then I am here to stay,
Just take all my energy and break through,
Took so much effort it's awhile before I come to,
Soaking in every bit of sunlight,
Certain everything is just right,
This feels just like a Godsend,
Unfortunately I will be dead at the day's end,
Butterfly wings so hard to clasp,
When I'm finally in your grasp,
So hurt and pained from the wings so broken,
Without a voice my words aren't spoken,
Turn happy to sad when the day turns cold,
In such a short time I become old,
One quick fly to squeeze in my last flutter,
The end is near and I begin to shutter,
Take a deep breath and soak in the last bit of being alive,
One last flutter and take my final dive.
