Butterflys

For every tear I swallow Push down And never allow to run away The fear that stands before me Crumbles and I see a little more out the tunnel I pave the road before me But before I can walk freely To that place that feeds my soul I must be fearless and whole To attain the happiness my heart desires Is not easy The fears sit before me Its just an illusion My gifts are not in the physical But I must march through the invisible Seal up the past Stay with the now And wave at the future hoping it will know I won’t give up I will pursue the butterflies Who show up to paint the sky around me Pretty While I walk alone No pity Just a tear that drops Falls on my lips Then stops to let me taste the bitter Before I claim the sweet I will not accept defeat The butterflies on the other side Need me. And if what they say is true You will judge me And that will not stop me I’m the queen Of my world I make the rules
