Butterfly


Never really felt like I was needed around I'd clown too much, always frown and feel left out. I begged for attention, though never realized by most. i tried to fit in, but always gave up hope. Outcast of my family, never did anything right. But I kept telling myself, everything will be okay. Just keep holding on. I know it would hurt, if I left with no return. Life just isn't for me, I'll let you guys keep on going. My heart can't take it, it's a never ending fight within. I'm ready to let go now. I just want it all to end/ Never pretty enough, to catch the eye of the guys. They all push me away,' at times it makes me cry. I can only hold, so much inside. Most times I feel, it'd be better to lay out and die. Just be sure to tell my brothers bye. They'll just have to look up, at the butterfly in the sky.
