butterfly.
you let society judge you
let them define your beauty
they made you crawl
crawl till you grew tired
you roamed vast places
got lost many times
you searched for something
something to fill you completely
you found yourself hiding
wrapping yourself away
away from everyone
and you didn't understand why
you were unsure of the future
what would happen next
would you love yourself
would they love you
you pushed through the pain
your cocoon of worries
ripped open to reveal
reveal a new you
you who loved you
even when society didn't
