Ian Be - chrysalis

Curl up
Hide away
Safe from the world
In my head with my own words
Cover me
Another day
Free in my own mind
Put up a front, say that I'm fine
It was the awkward stage
That lasted way too long
Had to grow and change
Before I could finally move on
It takes a lifetime
To morph into a butterfly
The chrysalis that caught me
When I just kept falling
It took a long time
From a moth to a butterfly
The chrysalis that wrapped me
Taught me all I need
Learned a lot
While I was gone
Learning to grow
Learning to run
Stunted my growth
I couldn't see
I don't blame you
Why do you still blame me?
It was the awkward stage
That lasted far too long
Had to grow and change
Before I could finally move on
It takes a lifetime
To morph into a butterfly
The chrysalis that caught me
When I just kept falling
It took a long time
From a moth to a butterfly
The chrysalis that wrapped me
Taught me all I need
Eighteen
Was a learning curve
One that I really needed
The winter
Took a bad turn
I will miss her forever
Nineteen
Looks so much brighter
Now that I am really healing
Think the future
Taking the right turn
With the memories I treasure
Shed the cocoon
But don't forget
Still not immune
From the upset
Because
It takes a lifetime
To morph into a butterfly
The chrysalis that caught me
When I just kept falling
It took a long time
From a moth to a butterfly
The chrysalis that wrapped me
Taught me all I need
It takes a lifetime
To morph into a butterfly
The chrysalis that caught me
The chrysalis that helped me
The chrysalis that taught me
The chrysalis that saved me
