I get it, really I do
you will never acknowledge my emotions
since your empathy expired
when the butterfly unfurled his wings

he reached his full potential
and left his past behind
in the remains of his cocoon
finally free of all his worries

now he laughs the day away,
basking in the sun
while others are drenched by the rain
his unsolved problems created

listening ear,
sympathetic eyes,
advice dipped in gold
got replaced by the features of
a majestic butterfly
without a care in the world
