How can I convey
Such a delicate thought
It escapes me so easily
Like a butterfly, wings spread out.
To catch this would break it
And that would do more harm
Than it would cause good;
I have to let it fly away.
As if stuck between two bickering fools
I am unsure of what to do;
How will I stop all of the confliction around
And to calm these uneasy nerves.
But this thought still has yet to grow those wings
Flutter away in its fragile glass body
Let it leave me be from this misery
Let it shatter, cause all this to end.
I just hate knowing these hurtful things.
I just hate keeping all of these god damn secrets.

The first two lines of stanza four were the best part because you used imagery to convey a message and your emotions...
I like the concept here, but I wish there was more imagery and maybe some metaphor to draw me in. I enjoyed it though. Thank you for entering.

One thing this poem reminded me of Krystal, because of your references to butterflies. This is beautiful and nicely written. good flow
