Butterflies

I wonder what the butterflies in my stomach

Think of me.

Are the dark sticky walls

A prison or a home

Can they hear the difference between

What I say in my head and what I say out loud

Are they as frantic as I am about the whole situation,

Or is this just life to them

Are they flapping

Because

They're nervous too?

Or do they want me to be

Do they care
