Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Thank you so much for that poem. My next tattoo is going to be of a butterfly. That's exactly what it stands for in my life Molly > > Butterfly, The Creature of Change and Survival > > > I grow, > I struggle, > I am not nurtured, > Nor cared for, > I learn the harsh lessons, > Of Life, > Alone. > > Then, > Satisfied in my growth, > Having learnt my lessons, > I gain maturity, > I am ready, > For change. > > I build walls, > Around myself, > To protect, > This change, > For change I must. > > I hang, > Waiting patiently, > Change must occur, > For what else is left? > > I push now, > I am impatient, > I have waited, > Long enough, > It is time. > I'll show this world, > That I can survive. > > One side of me, > Is exposed to the world, > Then another, > Slowly at first, > For I do not wish to shock, > Only to dazzle. > > Released am I, > Free, > Free to show myself, > In all my glory, > In all my splendor. > > For I have changed, > I am now, > Who I'm meant to be, > I am finally me. > > So, fear not change, > It comes naturally, > Be brave, > Learn well, > And when, > The time comes, > Be free. > > Aisha Sherazi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Molly, I have two butterflies tattooed on me. One on the inside of each of my wrists (a place I can see them, but can still be descrete.) THey mean that to me too.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I don't mean to sound like a copycat, but after reading that poem.....I figured my next tattoo will be a butterfly. But it has to be the " right " time. And I don't know what time that will be just yet.
