A butterfly Flying, Soaring, Through the maleficent garden Not afraid like the others, Who burrow in the ground And choose to live on the dark side of the moon No, instead this one chooses to see The little star Shining In the darkest of voids, A butterfly destined for the highest of trees The most charming of buds This light however, Has shown too bright Blinding the butterfly from those Burrowed in the ground, Who brought it to its grave, unapologetically. A sad day, where every petal of every flower, Would droop Where the sky, Blemished by its death Would pour rain upon the soil A time in which every member of the garden Would yearn for another To show them the smallest star In the darkest of voids, Throughout this maleficent garden.
To my family member Who was shot in Portugal By his best friend After he denied a chance at major league soccer A best friend who he had fought for But stabbed him in the back For no apparent reason. The funeral for him Was the biggest any had ever seen Because of his amazing positivity And how he helped everyone see The little star In the darkest of voids
