Butterflies

We treat them like they're caterpillars

Then, wonder why they aren't butterflies

We simply glance at their teary eyes

Then wonder why they left this Earth

Maybe they felt ignored

Maybe we need to change

Maybe if we treat them like butterflies

They won't feel like caterpillars.

i'm hardly convinced you've even looked at a butterfly. or a caterpillar. not being mean. just telling you so that you might get closer to experiencing things before trying to put wings on a poem. go out and look closer at these creatures. walk around them. learn about them. then come back and write.
yadda yadda, your poem Is metaphorical. I get that. though my advice remains.
