Beautiful Butterfly

Beautiful butterfly
Yet you have no colour
Will they still call you beautiful
When you look like no other?

Beautiful butterfly
You have no colourful shading
Left alone in the world
Left be left to feel as if fading

Poor lonely butterfly
Left alone fluttering and flying
None cast a look or glance
As your left crying

A butterfly without colour
Is that like not having wings?
None can see your beauty
Or the silent power it brings

You dance around the flowers
Making sure they remain alive
Prettiest among the insects
Colourless you still survive

Sad lonely beautiful butterfly
There's only so much one can take
You may not be coloured in
But does that make you really fake?

Beautiful butterfly
Yet you have no colour
Will they still call you beautiful
When you look like no other?

Who I Am

You can call me smart. You can call me dumb. Say I'm athletic. Or I just suck my thumb. Say you hate my hair. Say I'm wrong. Say I'm fair. Or say they'd rather me gone. Call me pretty.

Life of a Flower

You start as a green stud. But grow, change is on it's way. You're outgoing with a bud, No, you won't be a bouquet. Purple majesty Delightful aroma Soft, silky petals, Yet you're in a coma.

Not Quite

Eyes, not quite a midnight hue, A blur of many shades of blue, This smile really isn't sweet, And, yes, there's scratches on these feet.

I Am Mine

As anyone can tell, I am me. I will never swallow a pill they ask me to take. Though I may stand out to a crowd, I am me. I know I dress a little differently, and my hair is quite pink.
