Butterfly in a Cage

---

She wants to see the world

And spread her wings so wide

She longs to show her colors

And release the emotions inside.

She wants to travel far

And make her presence known

To bring beauty to the world

More than what can be shown.

She wants to make a difference

But still remains too young

She can’t do what she longs for

When she must hold her tongue.

She wants to see the world

But is bound and restricted by age

She’s stranded in this realm alone

This butterfly in a cage.
