Butterflies
January 4, 2012
A butterfly,
So beautiful,
So free,
A butterfly,
Compared to me,
I live for years,
When they only live for days,
Something so amazing,
Leaves to an early grave.
While I sit here waiting,
for my time to come,
Butterflies die early,
I wish I was one.

Don't wish that, life is a gift don't waste it. Bad things happen, often at the most inopportune times, but life goes on. There will be new friends, new chances, new experiences. Don't cheat yourself of the chance to see them.
