Butterflies

I remind myself of a butterfly

A creature of delicacy

That can be overweighted by the most smallest things

Rain makes me fall smack down to the ground

And takes away my dust, my magic

I am either squashed and dead

Or I lie there, waiting helplessly for someone to come rescue me

But in the end, no one comes

My wings just...crumble away into dust

It seeps into the ground and my dead soul fills life within the earth

Then I feel pure

Why couldn't I have been happy while I was still alive?

Why did I have to be left behind?

Life works out in very strange ways

Like how my wings fell apart by taking so much rain

One can only take so much

And at the end of it all

I have taken enough
