I Used To Be But Now...
by Amber Carrizales
I used to be a butterfly
soft, small and helpless.
I used to be stranded
in a sea of isolation,
and the soft, starry sky
would turn to gray
and trample down on me...
Who will be my shelter?
Now I am a silver eagle
graceful
majestic
and ambitious.
Now the sea of isolation
lies beneath me
and the soft, starry sky
no longer turns to gray
because now I've tamed it;
I shall spread my wings and soar
as I am
for the whole wide world
to adore....
