Fluttering over each living thing
A butterflys wings seem to sing
Passing by flowers
With little power
Taking in every sight
Before they say goodnight
Soft and graceful
Calm and peaceful
They fly through the air
Without a care
But people stop
Reaching out in interest
And place a finger
On such a delicate wing
No longer can it flutter
Carefree
No longer can it sing
To everything
With our interest so grand
We have crushed its freedom
As it can no longer fly
The butterfly just waits to die
I'm so scared
Scared to open the door
Scared to take one step
Scared to be hit with those words
That you phrase so carefully
To slap me right across the face
I fear
Walking out in the open
Of the house where I live
In case of falling into your trap
That you place so carefully
To capture me, weak
I'm frightened
Frightened of living my daily life
Frightened of talking
Frightened of being criticized
Criticism that is said so harshly
It hits me right in the gut
I hide
Back in my room
Afraid of being lectured
Knowing it will slap me across the face
Capture me, weak
Knowing it will hit me right in the gut
I'm so scared
