Mindfull

All she sees in the mirror is thorns.

When she thinks of herself she's torn.

Because no matter what others say she feels as though she can not fly.

As if everything about her holds her back,

her flaws keep her tied.

And because the mirror can only see what she sees inside,

the caterpillar can't seem to see that everyone thinks she's a butterfly.

But just because her wings aren't seen

and just because she hides

she watches everyone else in envy

She watches as time flies.

Even when her wings are old and fight to keep her afloat

they still shine with beauty, make her strong and keep her warm like a coat.

And still she'll never understand why others look at her in awe

because all she sees is her flaws.

And she'll never understand why they think she's so strong.

To her

her life

is just a long never ending song.

So she sits and waits for that song to end

she waits for her wings to grow

But since she can't seem to see her wings

she might as well be the caterpillar

the world will never know.
