I am a butterfly

Have you had the experience of meeting someone who reminds you of what you truly deserve...? And that you don't have to settle for less than love, kindness and happiness? It might not be a pleasant experience, but it certainly reinforces your focus on changing your life! 

Stay blessed and enjoy your weekend, Michelle

I am a butterfly
By Michelle Morris

I am a butterfly 
I am beautiful and surreal
I come from humble beginnings 
But I have determination and zeal

For my path is one of destruction 
I have to completely destroy myself to evolve 
To become my very best self
That incredible butterfly that you love

Don't underestimate my power 
Don't underestimate my worth
For I am prepared to give up everything 
For the beauty of my rebirth 

You can remain in the Darkness 
That's your choice to make
But I wish to fly and dance in the sunlight 
Kiss the flowers when my thirst I slake 

As I flutter and flirt and flitter and forage
I live my best life for me
I am loved for my beautiful Soul
And forever I will remain free

I won't sacrifice my short existence 
To be in stasis with your limitations 
For I know that I deserve Love and Light 
Joy and Happiness and Appreciation
