Ok... I'm not going to pretend this is anything but complete crap... but, meh, its half two in the morning... so w/e :P
Flutterby, Butterfly
Fragile little butterfly,
Perched on a flower of blue,
You have left your cocoon,
For pastures anew.
Little butterfly, I wish you well,
In all that comes your way,
May no one try to break your wings,
Nor your endless courage dismay.
Watching you fly, little butterfly,
I wish I could do the same,
Only I am still in my cocoon,
Crying all night in shame.
I’m hidden away in fear,
In my sheltered hideaway,
Safe from the entire world,
Keeping life at bay.
Hidden away I am safe,
My wings are unharmed,
Flying freely through the skies,
Would be to be unarmed.
From my self-made prison cell,
I watch you fly, I see you soar,
Contemplating the world before me,
Wishing I could be something more.
Only the world’s a scary place,
For a small, weak butterfly,
When the world is out to break your wings,
Another tear I cry.
Maybe someday…
Someday you will spread your wings,
Leaving your fear aside,
Nobody will hurt you now,
God knows that they’ve tried.
Fragile little butterfly,
Perched on a flower of blue,
One day you will too leave your cocoon,
For greener pastures anew.
