MY SYMBOL IS A BUTTERFLY!!

Everybody has a reminder in their life

A symbol or a song in which they feel there past and present belongs

Mine is something that seems quite small but rather remarkable

A butterfly!

 Yes that right but let me explain my reason for why

This little part of nature fits a larger picture

Before they spread their wings they are even tinier things

A caterpillar not really free at all they wriggle through the tall

Not really sure what life’s all about because they haven’t yet had their sprout

Soft and timid young and slow this is the childhood I know

Then comes the cocoon there tight embrace to hide their face

Curling away till there ready for the next stage

This is meant to be there protective coat

This is the part of my life I will not gloat

to tight for comfort

My cocoon was like a prison

But the only way to keep me safe was to hide myself away

My cocoon was my armour the nest that made me calmer

And when I was finally ready when I grew and I knew I was steady

I broke free to be the butterfly in me

Even though my wings are fragile I finally glide with style

And even though it took me a while

I grew the strength to fly

Put the past behind

Now I see my life in a higher definition

I am free from persuasion  And soaring for a better destination
