Alice often get comments on her visual beauty. Long curly hair with hues of red and blonde in the sun, she was quite lucky to have very authentic and unique features. But sometimes, she wished the world saw more than what meets the eye. She considers herself skilled in art, with painting being her favorite. She can express herself in a way without words, she can say a million things in just one of...
Don’t sugarcoat it
I am what I am
Still, I won’t quit
The Lion and the Lamb
Died for me
He really did
Hard to believe
When I was off-grid
My heart remained His
There’s no hiding
Just the way it is
In Him, I’m abiding
I’m a moth, deal with it
Never will be a butterfly
Still, I won’t quit
As I continue to testify...
I am not a butterfly, I am a moth.
I am ignored until I am needed
I am only called when you’re sad,
I am only there when you want me to be,
I am not a butterfly, I am a moth,
I am not beautiful, I am not ugly,
I am not special, I am not basic,
I am not perfect, I am not extremely flawed.
I am not a butterfly, I am a moth,
I am ignored,
I am not the first choice,
I am just
A simple moth...
In the quiet of the night, I flutter,
Aimlessly, unacknowledged.
My wings, a dusty canvas,
Not graced with vibrant hues,
Nor daylight's embrace.
The butterfly, adorned,
In beauty, Wild and free –
The creature
That I will never be.
For I am just a moth,
Drawn to a world,
That doesn't see my face,
I am the avoided,
A hollow echo,
In a world of light.
As I dance alone in the dark,
The flames…

She never liked bugs,
They crawl and fly and squirm.
They get under rugs,
But she is quite fond of worms.
One day she met this boy,
Who liked such creatures.
He looked at them with joy,
His reactions ignited his features.
She told him once that he reminded her of a butterfly,
He said ”I’m not a butterfly, I’m a moth.”
And that made her reply,
“As a butterfly, you’d be better off.”
But why would...
She is the light
When she spread her wings
And takes flight
She is the high test scores
The first place medals belong to her
Above the rest is where she soars
I am… something
She is beautiful
I am the neck you want to wring
She sings
I barely even
Speak
She flys
While I’m
Dying
She is colorful
perfect
I don’t deserve her
I hate her
She is so special
And I’ll never express my fury
I want t...

Butterflies are majestic creatures
So many people love them
They stand out
Each one unique
Yet no one cares about there differences
They are still beautiful
Sometimes I wish I was a butterfly
But I am a moth
I fade away in a crowd
I don’t stand out
I’m unique
Yet everyone points out my differences
I’m still beautiful
Just not like a butterfly
But if you really think about it
Moths
And bu...
