"One day,
nothing will hold me down.
This is not met to
be a sad story.
Where a capitular
does not turn into a butterfly.

Oh no, I am a butterfly.
Light as a feather,
and solid as stone.

My core is where my
humanity resigns

I cry,
I breathe,
I speak,
I fear,
I think,
I learn,
I change,
and yet I'm still young.

Fresh as a sunrise,
and old as time.

I thought my experiences
showed my growth
I thought my feelings
showed my strength.

But yet, it's like
I know nothing.
Nothing at all.

I want to be happy.

Don't you see?
A butterfly is just speck
in this train wreck.
We call life.

Yet, as it flies away,
we are still standing there.
Like a deer in the headlights.

No where else to turn."
