No Butterfly Pins

Butterfly
they say

you're meant to die
when it's devised
to shun the way
I reach

and the way I fly

because
in time
I'll see
all the lies
So it's better to
stick pins
upon my wings
be a chloroform-ed

thing

No! 

I'm waning
in the light so dim
to seek out
the glow
it's actually quite grim ..
but still

I must b line

and fly 

to the light

across the room

yes I will

I put up such a fight

because I need to be
set free of this terrible plight

and I'll be

in secret glee

and whimsical might

I'll fly away in the night!

and I promise, alright?
