Butterfly

I’m just a little caterpillar That’s all I’ll ever be Sometimes I like to dream That I could be a bee What a joy it would be To fly higher than a tower Or when I’m feeling lazy Settle down on a yellow flower BUT I’m not Im just a little caterpillar That’s all I’ll ever be Sometimes I wish I could be a ….. Magnificent Cheetah! Sprinting through the savannah At 75 miles per hour A blur of tan and black spots It’s like a super power! BUT I’m not Im just a little caterpillar That’s all I’ll ever be Sometimes I like to imagine That I could be a dragon Living on a cloud Breathing fire through the night High above the ground That would be a sight BUT I’m not Im just a little caterpillar That’s all I’ll ever be OWWWW!!!! A sharp pain inside I think I’m going to go and hide Building a barrier between me and the world Now the pain has turned into an ache I’ve got to finish Before my heart breaks I’m all alone and on my own Trapped inside this little space With no one to see my fear. Wishing I could feel your warm embrace You left me deserted With my faith slowly dwindling down. No one to boost me up No one to help me be found Darkness is all I see My tears is all I feel My sobbing is all I hear “Grandma” is all I can squeal Every minute I’m growing older. Every second becoming more claustrophobic. But, no one’s around me No one will notice Panic hits me all of the sudden. What if I can’t escape? I’ll be trapped all by myself Like an isolated ape Then I remember your favorite song A Child's Prayer, Oh how you used to sing You used to always tell me “Pray, and God will help you with anything” I kneel down on my knees And begin to pray “Please, help me with the pain Help me get out of here today.” I raise my head and look up Something is twinkling up above Light!!! There’s a crack in the wall With all my force I give it a shove I'm free!!!! Them I realize something strange I can’t even believe what I see. I’ve changed… I’m just a little caterpillar But, that’s not what I’ll always be Because now I’m a beautiful butterfly Much better than a bee.
