I wonder....

Do butterflies realize their beauty,

The wonderful way in which they fly,

Or do they compare themselves to every insect

Wondering if they should hide their colorful wings with dye.

 

Do they admire their wing’s softness

Their calming patterns, soft and light

Or do they think there’s something wrong with them

If there's something faulty with their size

 

Do they hate carrying the weight

of those stunning patterned wings

Do they ask themselves why they don't look the same

Or do they realize it is because they're queens.

 

Do they recognize they have nothing to be jealous of.

That they’re special and unique

Those wings are part of who they are

And without them, they would just be weak.

 

Do butterflies realize their wings’ beauty

And know they need them to reach the sky

Because without them they would be incomplete

And would remain “butter” without “fly”.
