Why can't I be like the other butterflies?
Mesmerizing and sweet they capture the flowers
When I can't even tempt the weeds.
Though my wings are dull and lopsided,
Within me there is fire
Yet the glow is slowing dying as my hope fades away.
Perhaps there will be a time where the flowers with all their boyish charm, save their pollen,
For those butterflies with more than a pretty façade
Who long for the sweet nectar as do I.
This is but a teenage fantasy.
This happiness can not stand the force of nature's army-not for long anyway.
But for those blissful moments of complete contempt,
The sun will shine once more.

Thank you I was just experimenting with how i was feeling and this comment means a lot to me. Congratulations on your engagement 🙂
The good men I see as flowers and those with bad intent-weeds. However with actual flowers, some weeds can disguise themselves perhaps like certain individuals both men and women.
"For those butterflies with more than a pretty façade."
What powerful words you have. Thank you for sharing.
Wouldn't have guessed this is your first write - don't stop here - I look forward to reading more.
Very good write, always believe that the sun will shine - just follow that light.
