Butterfly

I don't want to call this a response to a poem per-say, but it was inspired by a poem my friend wrote

The beautiful butterfly

Flew freely on her wrist

But not anymore

Now she's grounded

Trying to heal

The wings are slashed

The body broken

Slices everywhere

"Don't hurt me!" 

The butterfly cries

"Don't hurt the butterfly"

She whispers

But does a blade know how to stop?

This is beautiful! It captures the pain of trying to quit cutting perfectly.

Your poem was a big motivator for this. Thank you!

This is very different than anything I've ever read about cutting and butterflies. This piece is so unique, and it simply expresses what is said. Beautiful, great job.
