Little White Butterfly











outside to take in
the view of the sky
and in doing so greeting 
a little white butterfly

flickering its wings like twinkling lights
between the blade of this and that 
ahead of me on my walk
seemingly quick and rash

it is a jumpy thing
my anxiety quite the same
and if beauty can be found in this
perhaps i need not feel ashamed

Knowledge & Understanding

tell me
what do you know of loneliness
when you revel in solitude?

what do you know of the ache
deep within rattling bones with fire
when you've never felt passionate?

trauma

I followed my trauma around
as if it defined my first name
I knew not what life was
when it was quiet and mundane

This feeling within my heart
these butterflies rather coy
The sunshine on my face
I knew not what to do with joy
