Harsh Butterflies

When I place my thumbs together
Side by side
My hands become like butterflies and
I laugh just like a child.

When real butterflies become broken winged
The child inside of me dies
I must walk away and hide
Every part of myself that matters.
Life shatters us towards such harshness
That's what I think when I look at my thumbs.

Can you see me waving?
How do we become so numb?

If we didn't become numb, our wings would always be broken. Some of us have gossamer hearts.
