When I was a kid ,
I saw a butterfly ,
Little butterfly struggling to fly .
When I tried to help it ,
It fell down and lost its wings .
I felt that knocking guilt inside me for that time .
But when I grew up I realised,
Like that butterfly we need to struggle every moment in our lives to fly high and everytime if we expect that help we might lose our wings forever.
When I was a kid ,
I saw many beautiful and colourful butterflies sticking with the wall of our mud house ,
I thought they were searching for house and I made a house of corn kernels for them and put some of those beautiful butterflies inside that house .
When I got up in the morning I saw there's no butterfly all of them flew .
I felt so sad but when I grew older ,
I realised we can't help someone else from our assumption nor everyone is in need of our help.
When I was a kid ,
I saw a butterfly roaming near tap water and grams that we had put for birds ,
I thought she was hungry ,
I went inside my house and brought some flour in my little grip .
I grab that butterfly by her wings and put her over the flour on the ground that I had brought minutes ago ,
But I found that despite of eating the butterfly was loosing her consciousness, she wasn't able to fly and due to lack of breathing as her whole body was covered with flour she died away . I felt like if an arrow knocked down somthing inside of me.
When I grew older I realised like that struggling butterfly for flying , those butterflies on the walls and this roaming butterfly ,
No one can take away our pain ,
No one is going to heal us,
No one is going to give us that happiness,
Only we can do this for ourselves,
If someone tried to help us somehow we fall down and may be somehow put the another person in that guilt of not able to do anything for us .
Only we can take our pain away by breaking those patterns of expectations,
Only we can heal ourselves through that self love ,
Only we can give ourselves happiness by doing the things we love .
It's all start within us .
