I Feel Like A Butterfly....

I feel like a butterfly
Who needs to fly,
But can’t.

I feel like butterfly
Who needs to break out of her cocoon,
But can’t.

I feel like a butterfly
Who needs to spread her wings,
But can’t.

I feel like a butterfly
Who wants to shout out to the world,
“Here I am, all grown up, and ready to fly”.

I feel like a butterfly
Who needs to prove
To all those disapproving eyes looking upon her;
Thinking that it is too early for her to take flight.

I feel like a butterfly,
Who thinks,
T'was past time she took flight.

I feel like a butterfly
Who is perched on the petal of the flower,
About to take her first fill of the proffered sweet nectar,
But is unaware of the lurking danger.

I feel like a butterfly
Who is ready to take on life,
And the challenges it throws her way.

I feel like a butterfly
Who is ready to take on life,
And the challenges it throws her way.

I feel like a butterfly
Who needs to breathe;
To leave the suffocated enclosure
She has been bred In.

I feel like a butterfly
Who knows what she wants;
Who knows what she is;
Who knows what she wants to be;
But can’t.

I feel like a butterfly,
Who has faced enough,
In what little of life she has seen.

I feel like a butterfly,
Who is ready to give it all up
