some say
people give you butterflies
but
other people
give you a different type
of
butterfliesif you see me
and i have butterflies
drawn on my wrist
or leg
or anywhere
then please
hug me
and hold me
for however many
butterflies there are
that's how hard I tried
to not
rip my skin apart
like the thoughts did
to my mindand sometimes i
don't succeed
sometimes
the butterflies
don't helpbut for every butterfly
that's how hard i tried
for you
for all of you.
