Black Black butterfly flitting so <br />Freely through the warm sky <br />How you are so misunderstood <br />And under appreciated <br />Sometimes the perfect picture <br />Society tries to paint over <br />Life is so over rated! <br /> <br />Misconception and lack of <br />Understanding follows you <br />Every wear you glide <br />And weighs down your <br />Glorious wings leaving you <br />Nowhere to hide. <br /> <br />Your beauty is never <br />Acknowledged, <br />And your darkness if forbidden <br />In this time…so when you fly <br />It is always solo and not even the wind <br />Is kind. <br /> <br />Still you fly and soar, <br />High above the unstableness, <br />High above the loneliness, <br />But not high enough to escape <br />The feeling of being undesired <br /> <br />Fly..fly…black butterfly <br />Until the arrival of the midnight <br />Sky; the only place that brings <br />You joy so much. <br /> <br />Is that because you blend in with <br />The dark purplish heavens <br />Feeling comfort being unseen <br />And untouched? <br /> <br />Hurt no more black butterfly <br />Because I love you unconditionally <br />Cry no more black butterfly <br />And spread those beautiful wings and I <br />Shall soar with you…for I am with you <br />and you are in me.<br /><br />Danielle Beechum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-black-butterfly/
