Butterflies

by Robert Barcus - Not entered

I've seen the lives
of butterflies
wrapped tightly in cocoons of lies.
So when will I
a butterfly
break free from my
cocoon surprized?
Then I can be
what's really me
and when my colors people see
I'll float upon the currents free.

Reason for writing:

    This poem just came to me years ago....but looking back on it, I realize that all of us very are different on the inside than what we are on the outside.
