The beat of life
Pounding out an impossible rhythm,
I should have been born a butterfly,
Than without my wings to fly.
525,600 minutes,
And every moment of my year
Wishing I could cast off the old
And become something new.
Something beautiful.
Something spectacular.
The beat goes on,
The pounding of my heart
Matching perfectly.
Hiding behind hats and glasses,
It's potential I'm longing for.
I should have been a butterfly,
My wings are missing.
Wondering,
Waiting.
I don't want to shine,
Only to fly,
Only to rise above it all.
The beat goes on.
Where am I now?
What do I stand for?
Who have I become?
I am not a butterfly...
...the beat goes on.

Volant: flying; able to fly; quick.
