I am a butterfly ready to shed her shell and fly

I am an intellectual yet I make stupid choices

I am an individual and yet I want to belong

I am a legend in my own mind

People look at me and then look away

No one wants to see the real me

I am a poet, an outcast, and an outlaw

Look past everything that meets the eye and look into my soul

My soul yearns to be loved and understood

You’ll never find anybody like me.
