The garden on my skin died
The flowers disintegrated to ash
Shadows of petals seeping
Into the cracks of my skin
Becoming nothing once more

Along my painted arm
With a new message of hope
As they flutter beautifully
Covering who I am
With symbolic metaphors
Of everything I need
And who I want to be
Who I need to be...
These butterflies are me
And yet I will never be them
Never fly so high
As to reach such perfection
But these butterflies became me
So maybe
I can become a butterfly
