Time to fly my butterfly

Patience Baltrip 2007 (Sulzbach)

Free verse
A caterpillar stuck inside it’s cocoon
I feel trapped and broken inside
It’s dark it’s quiet. I want to get out
Days have passed wanting to open up
Afraid of people seeing my transformation
When I am ready to come out, I will come out
A new day has begun, time to sprout
I am a butterfly
Now it’s time to fly, my butterfly
