Butterflies In A Jar

I remember that I wrote my dreams
And put them in a jar.
To become a singer, an explorer, to learn a guitar, and so on.

While cleaning my room
I saw it again.
It was in a dark corner
Where my eyes never went.

Strange enough, it was filled with butterflies
Trying to fly in the sky.

I opened the lid and let them go.
It hurts.
Why? I don't know.

They were beautiful.
I wish I could keep them close.
But if I did, they would have died.

As they fly away in the sky
I smiled sadly.

But I thought that someday,
Anyone else would see them and
Smile happily.
