Horned Caterpillar

i have sooo many poems piled up in my docs lol. i have alot of them i like too but i dont feel like posting alot bc it likely wont get attention and also its 1am and im bored so... here u go

I wish i could be as soft hearted as a butterfly feels

Love could come from you, not formed from a false perception of who i am

When i'm at my worst, as caterpillar in its chrysalis

Still feel your tenderness lather over my hard shell and seep into the wrinkles caused by my altruism

Your senses at your best, not clouded by your altered version of reality

though i’ve carelessly misguided your heart

(my sharp edges are becoming harder to ignore)

Still see me as my fullest, purest self?

I wish.

Butterflies don’t last longer than a week.
