Butterfly

An insect
with two pairs of colorful wings

How is that our lives relate
To a butterfly and metamorphosis

The difference between us and a butterfly
The process just varies with time

We are looking for the same things in life
To fit in without being minimize

We all wear beauty in our own ways
The reaction we might get just makes us afraid

We put ourselves down for others beliefs
When really we should just ignore their idiocy

No one is perfect that the truth
We’re all unique since our youth

Even when a butterfly has a broken wing
It continues to flutter against the wind

What I am trying to say is that in order to achieve happiness
We have to let go of sadness

But don't go chasing happiness because like a butterfly
The more you chase the more it avoids your way

Einstein once said “If you want to live a happy life
Tie it to a goal not to people or things”

Like a butterfly I am ready to be seen, flap my wings and soar free
