Butterfly
Many will not touch it
Its appearance tells you why;
Sometimes used by little boys
To frighten girls and make them cry.
But, the horror of this creature
Though it’s small will very soon
Make a stunning transformation
While it’s hidden in a cocoon.
Though this poetry’s about nature,
Within its lines is a hidden clue.
There are many similarities
For it’s speaking about you.
In the midst of your darkness,
There’s a process taking place;
Years of bruising, signs of heartache
And ugly scars are being erased.
Now, you feel there is no beauty;
That your dreams have passed you by.
Keep believing, you will discover
That you are the Butterfly!
