Butterflies

A cacophony of butterfly thoughts

Beating their wings against the inside of my skull

Some of them want to escape

Some are simple bored and enjoy my pain

The cage in my brain tries to keep them locked up inside

But they’re unpredictable

They are creatures with minds of their own

I want them to leave me alone

Go off and find a new home

But I don’t want anyone else to have my pain

The pieces of me not meant to be seen

So they beat there wings incessantly

They increase the intensity

But I don’t let them go

You can’t know what they know
