GOLD BUTTERFLY 


GOLD BUTTERFLY

Said I was prettiest

When I was softest

While admitting the hurt

You inflicted hardened me

I’m a Gold Butterfly

Who forgot how to sing

You flew away with what

You prevented me from being

I’m a Gold Butterfly

Who forgot how to sing

I close my eyes

And see my voice

Open my spirit

Lest I make the wrong choice

I’m a Gold Butterfly

Releasing sounds

Liberating captives

Unlocking doors

Piercing barriers

Soaring

Warring

Writing and writing

And writing and writing

I’m still fighting

I’m a Gold Butterfly

And

I

Remember

How

To

Sing
