BUTTERFLY

BUTTERFLY
Once sheltered I would hide
Too afraid to step outside
Now my world’s on fire
I have found my hearts desire.
The caterpillar for a long time
Saving every quarter, nickel and dime
It wasn’t easy with bills to pay.
It wasn’t easy to live this way
Books I would sit and read
Quite time my greatest need
Now I am ready to fly
Beautiful, colourful I’m butterfly.
With wings outstretched fresh and new
I look around at this city I knew
But something has changed it’s not the same
Is this for real or is it a game.
My worlds’ been turned upside down
So forward I go without a frown
I will remember the good and not dark the lake,
the shops and the park.
