Black Butterfly

Here I swing inside my dark cocoon afraid to become all that I know I can be... A Black Butterfly too scared to emerge into my full potential and spread my beautiful black wings. I'm so afraid to spread my wings, to worried, about what this world may think of me? I'm a Black Butterfly that can't seem to set myself free from this cocoon that imprisons me. I do know how the world will ever see my real beauty that hides within me? The love I hide and the pain that does consumes me. I know this world can sometimes be cruel and rude place to be . . . but if I don't break out of this cocoon and set myself free? How will the world ever see me for me? But I must first set myself free, so that the world can see all my true beauty... and when I do emerge from cocoon? A beautiful Black Butterfly is what I shall be. As I spread my wings and fly into the sky… Fly away fly, fly beautiful Black Butterfly. Jay Andrew Anderson-Taylor Copyright ©2008 Jay Andrew Anderson-Taylor
