Overcoming yourself before tomorrow
A beautiful butterfly,
on its last flight.
Please do not shed a tear,
As it approaches the light.
All its life it had to fight,
Facing one by one its fear.
Its biggest one was in the mirror,
The reflection of no one near….
About this poem
I have many better ones, just longer.
