Beautiful butterfly

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?
