Trapped Butterfly



This picture reflects how I feel today.
Trapped but meant to fly.
Suffocating but need air.
Black and white but meant to be colorful.
Just symbolism, too afraid be real.

How can I breathe while trapped in a jar.
I shouldn't have allowed myself to be trapped.
I shouldn't have hatched inside the jar.
What good are wings if I can't fly.
Went through a life of change, just to wait to die?

The thing about being trapped is that it's never permanent unless we want it to be. Sometimes it takes once being trapped to understand just how beautiful our wings really are. Can you feel the wind on them yet?

Oh that poem is so sad and very good. My heart goes out to you. I understand what you are saying. I have had those times before. If I could find your jar I would break you out!

Thanks girls Today I'm not ok, but I will be soon with the love of you all. I've missed seeing both of you too. I'm really suffering inside right now and feel pretty weak.

This poem is great, but very sad. Are you okay? I've missed seeing you around?
