They tell me to breathe But no air comes They tell me to go outside But it feels so far away They tell me to call a friend But who would want to talk to me I breathe until the oxygen fades I walk until my legs collapse Instead of talking I write poems songs letters Ten thousand words that hold my stories and my dreams Ten thousand words that I write and will never say So here they are My ten thousand words As free as a blue butterfly Or they will be Now I am a caterpillar Still learning to grow But one day I will be beautiful Just wait and see

blue butterfly
They tell me to breathe But no air comes They tell me to go outside But it feels so far away They tell me to call a friend But who would want to talk to me I breathe until the oxygen fades I walk until my legs collapse Instead of talking I write poems songs letters Ten thousand words that hold my stories and my dreams Ten thousand words that I write and will never say So here they are My ten thousand words As free as a blue butterfly Or they will be Now I am a caterpillar Still learning to grow But one day I will be beautiful Just wait and see
