i am butterfly

closed within myself to hide;
changing daily, preparing to fly.

i question what’s seen when looking at me.
i’m not quite what i’ll always be.

darkness hides me while i grow inside.
i’m nearing newness, a life landslide.

high above the rough, cool terrain;
i change in silence and grow through strain.

upon emerging, i’ll be brand new.
i’ll kiss the land while covered in dew.

they won’t remember me from my past.
i left it all within that brittle cast.

i’ll fly from here, a painted menagerie;
i’ll entreat the wind; i’ll be most free...
