Image for the poem Black Butterfly

Black Butterfly

Her beautiful hue made her appear to be glowing
Butterflies that now fly are symbolic of her growing
Metamorphosing into a Queen from a young teen
Ready to show the world compassion like it's never seen

A being whose radiance attracted many like moths to a flame
Like Jesus Shuttlesworth, she's got game that'll alleviate your pain
She's been through things that are only seen when you look deep into her eyes
Tries to disguise her turmoil with looks that'll hook you until you're mesmerized

Those eyes have seen the glory and the stories of generations
She's birthed everything on this Earth so she has her frustrations
Frustrations with how we've allowed brotherly and sisterly love to diminish
She's determined to change things around before we're all finished
