I thought I was like the trees

tough on the outside 

softer within

I realized I'm different

I'm not a tree

I'm just a lonely human being

We cannot compare

to things worse for wear

We are all like butterflies

beautiful reds and greens

ugly yellows and browns

everything inbetween

None of us the same

all unique in our own little ways

We break from our chrysalis

and spread our wings

We fly from our homes

but never truely leave

We fall in love

heartbreaks in between

Some fall apart in pieces

others stand tall and leave

Humans aren't perfect

we know it too

We all will die someday

We don't know what comes after

so we shall wait

and see
