butterflies
butterflies.
i never liked them.
i would run away from them.
i was scared of butterflies,
they were harmless.
butterflies were beautiful creatures.
i ran away from beautiful creatures.
i still don’t like butterflies.
maybe i'm afraid of beautiful creatures.
oh how id love to be a beautiful creature…
