We are all butterflies in a jar.
Holes in the lid letting us breathe.
A safe place to be ourselves.
Daring to dream and see a vision.
Not yet seen the real world.
Only the vision we want.
The dreams and hope.
And courage and happiness.
But the pain is disguised.
We live with our heart on our sleeves.
Our candle of excitement burning on.
Ready to take action.
And one day....the lid opens.
Eagerly flying out and then we realize.
Realize the struggle and torture we must face.
Seeing that what we saw in the jar.
Was never in the first place.
A reality but crushed dreams.
But we keep flying until we have to stop.
Push through and increase our stamina.
And eventually, we make it to our goal.
We are still the same as we were before.
The same bright eyes and burning dreams.
But the only difference is now we are practical.
No matter how much we change.
We are always going back to who we are.
Butterflies in a jar.
