Hold the Butterfly Too Tight

Quashed. The caterpillar would
Not fly. I tried so hard, I did
But through clouds my eyes
Cannot reach the sky
Wings never stood
A chance against this storm

Many stories I have worn
Out. Exceedingly expressing
Chronicles of adventures I have
Lived. Yet this predestined tomb
Left me lost, losing touch
Do I know where I'll be?

Fortunetellers even, cannot see
The epilogue of lifelines in our hands
Will I be alone?
Depends.

And still the dark creeps
Uncomfortably. Under my skin
Too thin to withdraw, from
Melancholic voices
Discouraging the butterfly
Keeping it from reaching
The sky
