Butterfly, by wishing_on_stars Subscribe to rss feed for wishing_on_stars

Broken pieces of shell
Fall upon the floor
Parts of my caccoon
Slowly falling away
I've out grown the skin I'm in
So now I have to settle in
And take on this new way
Of living

I don't fight it
I push right through
I can't wait to face it
To see how I will renewed
How I will feel
Now that I've shed
All of my low self-esteem
All of my self-doubt
All of my insecurities
They're all gone now

Confidence glows on my face
A new bounce in my step
I am the way I am
Ain't nothing else to be
And I like that

So I let the pieces...
Fall away
As I become a butterfly
And take flight to the sky
