Butterfly

• Artist: Alphamusic
• Description: I don't know how but the idea suddenly came to me. Did you ever see a butterfly when you were at sea? The poor thing seems so lost. I always wonder why they're there. What drove them. This poem is about just that.
  
  PS: I might add that English isn't my native language. I only learned it when I was twelve ( I'm seventeen now)

Did you ever see a butterfly
Fly where she shouldn’t fly?
Is it brave or foolish if you try
To cross the sea, the gamble to die?

What was she thinking, no one knows
Your guess might be as good as mine
Was she just so attracted by the shine
The way the sun on the waves turns to gold

Maybe she didn’t care about the waves
Perhaps she longed to the land across
The foreign seems to have some gloss
Life always appears better there

Possibly she was just sick of company
With the others, she was just one more clone
She’d rather be unique, she’d rather be alone
She left her kin to feel whole again

The urge that took her to go in the end
We’ll never unearth wat it was like just to dare
She just got so weary she couldn’t stay in the air
Her tiny wings now flow away with the tide
