My hands caress
They are the caterpillar
I am the cocoon
They are the butterfly
My empathy is the remnants of the home I gave them
When will I wrap myself in Love?
When will I protect myself so I can transform?
God watches all these butterflies dance
While I’m stuck in the tree
Too scared to jump and try
Afraid of breaking my own soul
I want to be like them
Like a bird or even a mosquito
Free to roam and fly to Heaven
