Beautiful butterfly


Once I was inside a cocoon…now I am taking my first breath with you.
Breaking out of this shell that can no longer keep me entombed.
I have been trapped long enough to transform
And I am here to exist…see what I have become.


Beautiful butterfly hidden inside my own mind…
I am a caterpillar no more;
Now I have set myself free,
From all the thoughts that used to bind.


Perfectly, I am released;
Taking flight upon a summer’s dream.
Rainbow wishes let me see,
I am no less than everything.
I am in love with the possibility of what I could be;
I am able to become anything.


If one chance is all we get to do our best,
Then I will become a success and nothing less.
No longer an embryo, I have grown into what I should have been.
See the trail of colourful dust I leave behind me as I leave.


My future is just beginning and I am so happy.
Who knows what I will turn into eventually?
