Butterfly Exhibit—I can’t do it
December 13, 2017
Looking through the windows,
terrified and frightened, I
Try hard to go in
make myself continue.
But I can’t do it.
Backing out,
Mom says “don’t be scared honey”.
Butterflies charge.
I cry, throbbing in fear.
I can’t do it.
Running from the monsters,
I try to stay calm.
My mom says in comfort,
“You don’t need to worry.”
I can’t do it.
Trying out the exhibit,
I see they aren’t too bad.
Butterflies are peaceful
I begin to love them.
And I did it.
