Butterfly
Unique markings,
unlike the others,
Different breed,
yet you still make self comparisons
Out of necessity
You spun a concrete cacoon
It's metamorphosis
Not your tomb
Let's chisel together
And chip away piece by piece
Me from outside, you within
Until your release
Emerge
Emerge with me
And in times you'll spread your wings
And you'll be free
You're colorful
A bright display
A rarity
To bright my day
My butterfly
I'll hold you in my palms
So you can rest at anytime
Without any harm
The flame ignites
Ashes spewing from my lungs
And in a cloud of smoke
I envision you rising up
With wings of fire
Phoenix resemblance
Just make it through
And I'll be here
To hold you tight
You cannot burn me
And i will not let go
In your self learning
Be free
And fly to my shoulder
But you cannot fly with armor
My constant warrior
Defend your gates
Not letting anyone in
As you should,
And when the battles over, begin
My flaming butterfly
Four winged phoenix
Cacoon of hardened ash
I can't believe it
Perfect creature
Born of war torn
Change into who you are
Who you truly are
And I'll keep loving you still.

The metamorphosis metaphor throughout: reminds me that change is hard but there is beauty in the process and peace in the outcome. Favorite lines:
Be free
And fly to my shoulder
But you cannot fly with armor
My constant warrior

Thank you. I hope that it shows, freedom requires vulnerability unfortunately. Because anyone or anything can challenge, but to be ones self, you can't care about who's loud. You. Them. You gotta be you no matter anything else. Be your truth.
