Broken Butterfly

Broken butterfly, fly so high

Right above it all

Over the pain and the misery

Keeping it from destroying your soul

Entering nirvana

Nirvana is what we all strive towards.

But we can escape the pain

Unless we would rather stay

Til' the dawn

Til' the rain

Enough is enough

Right now I seek hope

Finally, the light is in the tunnel

Light that will bring me home

Yes, I am home.

From there, I will stay

Light as a feather

Young as my painless teens

Higher than high

Into the unknown

Generating love

Happier than I've ever been.

Broken butterfly, fly high.

Hello, my name is Anne-Marie. Welcome to my profile. I like to think of myself as a writer and advocate for mental health and invisible illnesses. Part of me struggles with my faith on a daily basis because of my sexual orientation. So a lot of my poetry is about coping with that and my health on a day-to-day basis. I don't define myself with my sexual orientation or my health struggles but they are a part of me; there's no denying that. I love to write dark science fiction about dystopic futuristic landscapes. I like to write strong female leads with a lot of emotion and feeling to them. I truly live, breathe, and enjoy writing. Thank you for reading this
