Little Butterfly

by Madeline71100

Settle down butterfly,

one more wish and maybe you'll fly.

Days on end with no hope again,

realizations over,

just continue to flutter in the wind.

Whisper the song we all hold dearly,

maybe then we can breathe freely.

It's hard to trust the dark,

especially when you freeze with fright.

Wondering stars on a cloudy sky,

all the while birds mock you,

they're always flying highly.

Please always remember me,

I will wait, like written words,

without anyone to speak.

How can someone be so strong,

yet look so weak?

Secrets from within float with the breeze.

Keep close my dear, everything's caught fire,

Passion can't be to far,

hidden in the heat the heart holds the flames.

Grasp anything, you'll began to see.

No body enjoys this fight,

the endless pit of life,

forever fearful they might die.

But please promise me, little butterfly,

don't ever forget the need to fly.

I'm from California. I love any form of writing but my favorite is poetry. I'm 15 years old. I get a lot of comments about being so young but I don't think your writing should be judged on what you look like, how old you are, etc. Instead it should be judged on the emotion that lives in the writing. I've only been writing poetry for about two years now. I started after my dad passed away and I've slowly improved since then, however, I still have much to improve on. That's a huge majority of why I'm on here. So, Please let me know any advice or suggestions you may have. Thank You.
