Butterflies
They fear us because we're different
We don't fit into their perfect colony
Bees buzzing all around
Swarming in every direction with an overwhelming sound
We are many but the are more
They sting once and then no more
Some of us fall but we stand tall
We help those who can fight no more
For we are kin in heart and soul
We are the artists, the writers, and musicians
We are the rebels, the dreamers, and inventors
We are Butterflies
