Caged Butterfly

by Ashley Sharmane   Jun 9, 2006


I am a caged butterfly,
who just wants to break free,
but there are too many secrets haunting me,
Too many lies that threaten to spring forth,
and take away all that i have worked for.
Tainted by hate and hurt by the same,
I'm just a whirl of colors,
nothing that's tame.
Loved and envied every day,
I'm a gift and a curse that i must accept all the same.
I'm stuck under the drama and pressure of my life,
Beautiful though I am,
I cannot fly.
I am a butterfly,
delicate and sweet,
the grind of everyday life is threating to crush me.
Everytime my cage is opened and I see the light of day,
A familiar darkness overtakes,
sweeping away all hope,
of what was meant to be.
Of all the happiness,
that shouldve been mine to keep.
