I feel like a butterfly on fire,
Caught between the shy and flame.
My heart beats with a longing desire,
Yet trembles at the very name.
In the heat, I find my strength,
In every burn, a lesson learned.
Through the blaze, I stretch my length.
A soul reborn, a spirit turned.
Though the fire consumes my wings,
It cannot touch the core within,
For in the ashes, a new song is born, a melody of where I've been before.
