Poor Princess Butterfly

Poor Princess Butterfly
never got her chance to soar
or float her dainty wings
above flowers and dainty things

Poor Princess Butterfly
would in her bedroom cry
sometimes turning off the light
so her tears weren't so bright
in vastness of the night

Poor Princess with her gold,
silver, and diamond shining robes
found herself too adorned
to leave her bedroom floor
and in mirrors would adore
her perfect image evermore

What they were looking for
looks that were bought in store
image of beautiful
fabricated reality
really such ugly things
their souls inside were so
vague
empty eyes and
frozen smiles
were the thing

Now that she really looked,
it took a while
to see
the plasticity all around her
was the bane
of Integrity
Now she could really see
what was inside of her
was never really something
she wanted to hide
at all

Furthermore really
what was strikingly revealing
was the fact that the
nice clothes on her back,
the costumes she wore
so those fools would adore her and
the image of what she could never
stand for
was really what kept her from
finally breaking free....

From being all the butterfly
that she could
finally be.....

So she tore off those
robes,
And she began to run,
no more false obstacles
between her and having fun
this life was one to live
and never holding back

Loving with all you have
giving when you have a
chance to give
And Finally Wanting To LIVE
the BUTTERFLY BROKE FREE
and she soared up into the skies
telling everyone the wonderful news!
how you've got nothing to lose!
And her wings were on fire
with the light of truth!
And as she soared into the sky
tell me what did she see?
as she looked at the earth
finally free from her curse
as she looked at the earth
mother nature gave birth
to another universe
not as cold as the first!
