Insecure Butterfly

Fluttering on the brink In agitated motion Insecure butterfly Filled with erratic notion Hidden away, out of sight Flying the safest course Never far from her cocoon But filled with sad remorse This is not the motion of nature This is no way to live Smothered in your silken shell You have nothing of yourself to give Choose to take a risk Take a chance Insecure butterfly Learn to dance Spread forth your wings Sojourn to distant places Be spontaneous, adventurous Eager to meet new faces Not living in the threshold Scrutinizing trouble Playing life safe Living in a bubble
