To be nobody but yourself in a world that is trying it's hardest every night and day to change you into everyone else is to fight the hardest battle a human being can fight, and never stop fighting.

Flying, colourful
A beauty like no other
It’s a butterfly.

Tiny, delicate
Her wings fluttering gently
She rests on a flower.

Little legs and feet
Tiptoe across the petals
Sweet nectar at last.
