a new poem [from a photo a friend posted recently]

Butterfly soul

Uncurl

Your wings & fly

Little one

I know

That sometimes you feel

More like a scorpion

A spider

Something scary

I know that you

Scare you

Sometimes

I still feel

The same way

About myself

Yet…

Defending myself

Does not make me a monster

[irregardless of feeling like one]

and

I still got to fly away

In the end

Sometimes

I’m still afraid

Of hurting someone

By accident

Thankfully

I have patient people

Around me

Who love me anyway

No matter

How I view myself

I sincerely hope

You do

As well
by b.e. noll

Hope you like it. Hope it doesn't scare you.
May His grace drip from your fingers,
B
