Butterfly

[haruhi]

I thought I was strong, but know I was weak.
I thought I was honest, but my lies fooled me.
I thought that my pain was something to fight.
But now my soul's screaming and yearning for light.

My work is not done, a new start awaits.
Where I thought I could rest, much work now remains.
I must make a choice, I cannot stand still.
I feel trepidation, but start up this hill.

Take back what I am, remake what is me.
I submit to this change, that will set me free.
I cast away lies, I now accept hope.
I will rebuild myself, from pieces I broke.

I'll keep what is best and add what is new.
I'll mix them together, a glorious stew.
And then I will wait, for good things take time,
And one day emerge, and happily shine.

Yes, it will be hard, I know it will hurt.
But giving birth does that, it's worth it, I'm sure.
What wonders are we that birth our own selves!
Just us and butterflies lay claim to such wealth.
