I Want to Be a Butterfly

On this moonlit night
I pine for someone to hold
But they’re not forthcoming
As far as I see, hear or know
And I should have learned by now
It’s unbearably clear to see
That love in all of its splendor
Was not made for souls like me
I don’t try to understand it
Just accept it as an inevitability
Who am I to demand it
When it makes no demand of me?
Life has shackled me
And no key seems it’s coming my way
I can’t seem to give myself
The freedom to be me
I don’t want to be solitary anymore
Oh why are you so blind?
I turn out a caterpillar
When I want to be a Butterfly
And oh God I am done
It seems now that life has locked the door
And I’m damned to trudge on alone
But this way I don’t want to live anymore
I don’t want to live anymore
