We are butterflies with tattered wings
and torn souls —
We're all hanging on slivers of hope
that one day we'll wake with a newfound beauty
and maybe our wings will flap tirelessly and our souls
will be bound together by a freedom from all that's ever haunted our beings.
We'll heal,
take our time to revel in a newfound happiness
that'll run through our translucent veins like water.
We'll be the makers of our own happiness
and the kings and queens of our own kingdoms.
Someday, we'll be.
