BUTTERFLY ALLEGORY

When living became surviving 
Learning how to get by
It was hard to understand the world
With tears of pain in my eyes
I became a silent victim
I couldn't make sense of the wrong
No one would acknowledge it 
I was forced to just go on
I learned to hate my life, myself
I learned to take the blame
I tried to disappear,  not be seen
But I was destroyed by shame
I wasn't me any longer
I was destroyed deep inside 
I grew up trying to fake it 
But myself within had died 
It stoled my trust, my innocence 
No one cared to hear
I lived within my mind
Reliving it with fear 
Then I cried out
God is in this story
I faced my painful past 
With a butterfly allegory 
I broke free
I found my wings, by and by
No longer the creeping catapillar 
I became the butterfly
