My Little Dear Angry at life, full of fear Small little butterfly, come to me I’m thinking of you, my little dear My heart adores your size of heart Come to my hand, you will feel all-right Never will I let you go, keep your wings at sight. By Aia Islamova and Varsha Rawana
My Life I feel the light in my eyes My life is becoming one Growing so big Becoming so strong Finding my insides My life has just begun. by Richard Crane
HI ! Boom, Kabaam, I saw it break free, It looked more beautiful that I thought it would be. Boo-hoo-hoo as I cried through, I cried louder and louder until I turned blue. So butterfly is what they call you – They call me the incredible Mr. Vue. As life goes by, Everyone tends to stop saying hi! I wonder if it’s the same with butterflies? by Jeremy Vue and Steven Pham
Stages From a womb to a child From a caterpillar to a cocoon From a child to an adult From a cocoon to a butterfly These are the stages Of a butterfly and a teenager by Kevin Ledlie and Ashley Ramsey
Metamorphosis I start young, a 12-legged creature, and of course, they notice my features. I don’t like the way that I look, so I’m going to flip like a book. I go into a little cocoon, and I don’t want to leave. Very soon I’m finally done, as time flew by I have become a beautiful butterfly. by Cody Arnold and Hogan Ramos
Breaking Free Breaking free like a butterfly Hearing the crackling as you go Using your power to get out Getting smarter as you grow Be free and never let go You still have the power to know by Ashley Millard and Tracy Coward
Energy of Breaking Free Tick Tock, Tick Tock It’s almost time for me to enter the world. Zip, Zip, Zip – I can hear it now Life’s long cocoon is breaking apart Flash, Flash life goes by It’s the teenage memories we kiss goodbye. by Elijah Bowling
CHANGES Change Life changes like gears in automobiles Change is good Change is for the better For the good you can form Into someone good Change is good though it can be bad Not enough experience and life can be a drag
Change can form like a worm in a cocoon when your fully grown you can Look and feel good So when you develop to your best you can be on your own Away from the rest When you look at life, it will remind you the more good you do the better the change And release you like the butterfly from the cocoon. by Bernard Ramirez
New Found Beauty Start so simple, start carefree. Full of wonder, full of glee. Crawling around this confusing world. Some are boys, some are girls. Growing stronger, learning more.
Find new things, new things will bore. Spend dark times, locked inside. Searching for something, in themselves to hide. Still so lost, inside their minds. Inside their cocoons, so dark, so kind. Breaking free, a new found self. A new found beauty, inside ourself. by Erica Benware
Using Your Wings Youthful fun, laughter and joys Butterfly wings, flowers and toys Teenagers sprout wings of freedom Pupa change crawling to flying Adulthood brings grown up things Butterfly wings fly as they keep on trying. by Mickey Hunter
A World Where - My cocoon was home for many years. A home where my parents nurtured and fed me. A home where I had no financial responsibilities. Now crack, crack, crack. The time has come. I am emerging from the cocoon from which I was raised and grown. Off on my own to another place. I sit and dry my wings off. I tear and say good-bye to my parents.
Now I say hello to a brand new world. A world where I find my own place to live. A world where I buy my own food. A world where I pay my own bills. A world where I fly away from my parents and into my own life. I am a butterfly broken free from its cocoon. I’m stepping out in a world unknown. I’m experiencing life itself. by Melissa Cook
Butterflies and Teenagers The two hearts beat as one If I don’t break free I will be done Leaving home is a big one for me But I wouldn’t want anyone I know to see Just like leaving a cocoon I want to float away in a big balloon With all the pain you put me through And you don’t even have a single clue That’s what I would only do Just to break free from all of you. by Kaycee Colen
Fly, Fly, Fly The form of life comes from the teenage soul. Love and energy can become a strong impact on life Don’t turn around when you think its rough – keep going Growing is stepping into a bigger world Life is like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon to explore the world.
Energy is from the sun, which brings us into life. A young heart grows into a wonderful soul. 100 years later, you can be a new Butterfly out of its cocoon To become free of energy and power is to be a butterfly and fly away. Be free and fly, fly, fly ….. away. by Felicia
Mystery Life is a mystery that nobody knows how to solve it. But like butterflies and teenagers we both want to experience it. We both go through different changes in life. Such as growing up finding love and to start a new better life. The difference in the inside is not much, just if you look at the physical from a teenager to a beautiful butterfly things would change. Butterflies and teenagers share one common thing that I called the circle of life. by Genesis Quintana
Butterflies and Teenagers II We are both curious to look what’s around us. Butterflies and teenagers can’t help their curiosity. Trying new things to improve their lives. Butterflies and teenagers like to socialize. Butterflies unlikely teenagers have a minimum life limit. We teenagers face life changes more than butterflies do. by Tom Horne
Caterpillar to Butterfly –as- Teen to Adult Caterpillars are turning into butterflies As teens are turning into adults Too big to fit in a cocoon Too large for a single teen room Trying to break free to ride with the wind As teens are struggling to find their special within The burst of motion breaks them free As teens use momentum for lifelong dreams. by Kayla Canfield
