Moth

Tonight I saw a moth
Flittering by the lamp post
On the steps where I sat
Reliving a horrible day
Trying to escape the past
But I can't
Part of me saw myself as that 
insect
Trying to find the light, the best 
me
The butterfly
Part of me felt diflated and 
broken
From the woman I was when I 
started
But I will soon fly away
