Butterfly

It is so dark; I am afraid

Please tell me when can I leave?

A whispered voice tells her

Patience for soon you will be free, this you have to believe.

Something feels different can you tell, do you know

I am so unsure of these changes and where I should go.

You are where you should be this I promise to you

Soon you will be free and much happier too.

Will I look and feel the same

My body is not pretty and fills me with shame.

Your beauty is held within a cocoon all wrapped up tight

No matter the outside it is what is inside that I like.

I am ready to see what is in store for me

I am not alone any more this now I see

Break free of what holds you within your walls

It may feel like a struggle but give it your all.

I have changed. I have wings that let me fly high

But I still feel like the same person inside.

Your majestic transformation is quite amazing

But it is your true heart, inside, that I will praise.
