Maybe in another life I will be something less painful than a human Fewer feelings and emotions and ridiculous devotions Perhaps a butterfly so I may sprout wings to go wherever I please To escape when I want and live among the trees To be free from the mortal bonds which bind me still Being crushed by those who see me as a bent and dying daffodil I am viewed as a damaged and battered being Yet it seems as though my outside casing is the only thing people are seeing My mind is quiet foggy but my folded stems are not painful They just distort my appearance and for that I'm quiet thankful Because if those who care were to ignore my imperfections Then by chance I could avoid societal dissection Let me return as a creature without sense or thought Then I will never be caught thinking of what I used to be I'll be free from the prospect that the world ruined me I thought I was alone in this place of misery But I was soon brought out and could see clearly, instantly Love was the lens I needed for sight But now like the butterfly, it has left to take flight There once was a time when the world brought me joy Until I found people who sadistically poison and destroy Now I again must revert back to nature In the end it is all I have left... Sooner or later
