I want to be understood,
For the person that I am,
The labels of old are wearing me down,
Metamorphosis, transformation,
I want now!
I am like a butterfly wallowing in the wind,
I flap and flap at my quest to get home,
Yet my powerful flaps left me feeling as tired as before,
The wind weights me down, down I go,
Like a magnet to metal,
It slaps me to the Earth,
My tether to reality,
That most likely my situation will stay the same,
I’ll never get home,
My blanket of safety will be forever gone,
And that fault will be mine alone,
As much as I try to flap,
My resistance is depleted,
I can go no more,
Hopelessly floundering on the concrete floor,
After hours, a light comes to my aid,
“Success,” I cry and it helps my tirade,
It helps me up, tanned face and a kind smile,
My journey is not over,
It’s only begun,
My tired wings can no Longer go on,
By my heart can continue for miles,
Because of this brave face and beautiful smile,
The power of one plus two can collide,
To create the most perfect of duos if you try,
With her by my side,
My wings don’t seem like such a huge deal now,
I crawl to her shoulders,
And take shelter under the blanket of her hair,
And watch as the sun sets at my new friend’s side,
And I know that this is that hope I was journeying for,
Her rings on her fingers glisten with the promise of new times to come,
With Friendship renewed,
I know in my heart it’s time to go home,
My treasured place,
The hive in the sky,
Where I can be myself,
And my friend will be by my side.
