Happ Butterfly

She let people stab her in the back Like stepping on a bug, they never know it’s coming Like hunting a deer they don’t know it’s coming She let them, she wanted it She was called a one trick pony She wanted the pain She wanted to be let down She let them, she wanted it But that’s not her story But nobody knew Nobody, people liked to judge her Tell her what she feels. She wanted to break the wall stopping Her from speaking Her words told something Like the words to songs, poems, stories They were stopped like water to a dam She never spoke She was called names Rude, quite, stupid,dumb, fat, ugly Eventually she felt Rude quite, stupid and dumb, fat,and ugly She never stood up She believed that she meant nothing She was broken Lost, Dead People made her world feel broken People made her feel sick People make her feel gone She was in pain She cut herself She starved herself She was trying to be everything she wasn’t She was told to be a happy butterfly But she was stuck in her cocoon Locked away She didn’t have a key, She didn’t have a code To be the happy butterfly that everyone told her to be She didn’t want the pain or the scars, The guilt, the agony, the hatred She was told to be the happy butterfly That she never believed she could be.

Madison, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
