“Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness. Marriage transforms a distraction into a support, the power of which should be, and happily often is, in direct proportion to the degree of imbecility it supplants.” ― Thomas Hardy, Far from the Madding Crowd


as i sit here, i will die

and in the end i might just fly

i fly high into the sky just like i'm a butterfly

fly, fly, butterfly, fly. fly high into the sky, don't be 

afraid of heights, because you're a butterfly

we can be butterflies, too bad we would have to die

lets not be butterflies because we don't want to die.

we still want to fly, but we don't want to die. lets leave flight to the butterflies

so we can watch them all fly, fly high into the sky. 

not even afraid of heights, because they are butterflies and they are made to fly

fly, fly, butterfly, fly

fly high into the sky

you shouldn't want to die because then we all [people] will cry


The author's comments:

i performed this february 13, 2021 during a talent show/ open mic

i was being bullied because i had bad health and it was ruining my athletic performance

not more than 2 months and 5 days later, i was rushed to the hospital from insanely low RBC and iron counts. my hemoglobin was 6.8 and my iron was way lower than the healthy level. people told me to quit faking and being weak when i was told i couldn't lift or run until my levels were back to normal. during this time, i did lots of push ups, pull ups, feet to bar, curl ups, squats, planks, flutter kicks, and dead hangs.

 

RBC: red blood cell
