I wrote this poem last night, when I write most of my poetry when I am unable to sleep because of pain and well, just being me. Hope you enjoy! it is Untitled as all my poems are. here goes!
In dreams.....
Pretty little girl
White dress seems to glow
Against verdant meadows
Brown eyes like a doe
head back laughing
She skips and dances
Eyes so sparkling
With the world's chances
She's so beautiful
Like a swirling butterfly
She sings like a bird
Up to the blue sky
She can do anything
Limitless possibility
So very strong
No such fragility
In reality.....
Pretty little girl
Blue hospital gown
Pale against bleached sheets
Brown eyes cast down
Head back in rest
She secretly dreams
Of where she's free
Instead of ripping at the seems
She's so beautiful
Bravely she fights
Not afraid of anything
Except the lonely nights
She needs help with everything
Struggling with possibility
Of a future stuck and mired
In limitless fragility
As she wins this time
She earns another try
Lips upturn in a smile
Another chance to fly
This has taught her
Love and passion
Enchanting butterfly
Soaring with compassion
Sickness touched her life
Now she helps others
Her companions in arms
Sisters and brothers
Helping to build
A shelter, a community
Where everyone fights together
We help each other be free
Look at the butterflies
See how the dance
A rainbow of colour
Brought together by chance
