Butterflies
*TW: SH (Self harm)*
Once, twice
I was yelled at for being dumb
Three, four
Butterflies drawn
Five, six
Aspects of me judged by them
Seven, eight
More butterflies to add on
Nine
Yells more drawing on myself
Ten butterflies
On my clean arm
I smile instead of getting upset
When she yells
When he yells
About the butterflies
I would rather see a garden of butterflies
Then rivers of red
Because that
Shows growth
I always say those lines
No one knows why
But I do anyway
I made a promise to
My stars
My Panda
The voices in my head-all of them
To myself
That I wouldn’t cut
I’m clean.
Let me repeat that-
I’m Clean
