Black Butterfly

Made Myself
I made myself

from all the photographs

I never took,

from all the love

I never received

and

from all the moments

that never happened.

And it has been too real,

it has been

a beautiful struggle;

one that has always

reminded me

of how easy

it was to laugh

Reborn
Some people try so hard

to change

but sometimes it doesn’t happen that way;

we cannot force it,

it takes time.

Sometimes it just happens overnight,

like one day it all makes sense

and just like that

you change.

That should be inspiring to us all,

the way we are able to die every night;

only to be reborn the next day

for the rest of our lives

Bloom Again
There is nothing here again,

but there is so much to find.

For sometimes

I feel like I have lost it all:

mind and soul.

And it is only getting harder

to tell the difference

between what I love and what I do not

when the only flower

in my heart is wanting

to bloom again
