Title: 蝶々の夢 (Chouchou no yume, a butterfly's dream)
Small but fragile,
Beautiful yet delicate,
Delicate, yet agile,
Fragile, yet strong
Or so it wants to be,
But something is stopping it,
Fear, uncertainty, change, confidence,
All because of what it has been told,
All because of what it has heard
It wants to spread its wings,
To embrace the potential that it has,
But it's scared,
Scared because of what it's been told
Scared because of what it has heard
It has a dream,
A dream to become what it wants to be,
A dream to fly,
A dream to spread it's wings
Slowly but surely,
It gains courage,
Letting its dream become a reality,
As it slowly spreads its wings
And beautiful wings they were,
Colours that were both beautiful and mysterious,
Colours that the butterfly loved,
As it took the first step,
As it flapped its wings for the first time
It left the leaf it was clinging onto,
As it started to fly,
As it started to gain its strength,
Leaving all the negative things it had been told,
Leaving all the negative things it had heard,
Leaving all of that behind,
As it slowly made its dream a reality
Small but fragile,
Beautiful yet delicate,
Delicate yet agile,
Fragile, yet strong
That's what the butterfly became,
As its dream was no longer a dream,
But was now the butterfly's reality
