Butterfly fly away

Fatherless tears rest upon the cheek, tender from the bruises of a silent goodnight,
It's pain that spreads across her lips as she lays hollow and broken across a glass floor;
Isolated and singled out no one see's how hard reality can be for the one far from home,
watch as her chest tries to breathe without a touch of a lovers heart beat
doe's it fail as the stars try to shine but can not reach her wishes of a peaceful dream.

Butterfly wings spread open but their crippled from the presence of a relapsed nightmare
of the fears that have scared her over and over when she was a weeping teen;
Broken beneath the cruel words and silence they have labeled her upon,
she longs to be little and imagine a fairytale life because everythings perfect there
and no one told her that they don't exist when you grow up into life.

But sweet innocence is a caterpillar in the tree, crawling high to the hopes of her time
when something good will surprise her in the painful scene.
Curled in lists of what she aims to achieve she still managed to mend the wounds upon you
because she feels your worth more to the reality than anything that she could offer.

Poor butterfly, no one sees how hard that it could be yet she still smiles and speaks,
her voice sings light into those of broken sight whilst she remains hidden behind a mask;
Butterfly fly away, you have your wings so fly away

    The imagery in this was incredible, the emotions powerful. I love the metaphor of pain being a temporary stage, as a cocoon. Excellent job.
    Thanks for entering the contest & best of luck.

    wow...I haven't read a whole lot of your stuff but wow this is an amazing piece! I loved it. So many girls in todays' society go through this nowadays it's sad. Girls make other girls look bad and it's terrible. I hope you find your butterfly wings and fly away soon from all this hon!

    what a sad write... You can beat the odds ... you have more strength inside of you that you don't even realise you have. Keep your chin up, never lose faith in yourself, and in God
