All I Need Destiny Martinez If I could be anything in this world I would be a butterfly. Because they are oblivious, Of their whole blissful life experience. They are beautiful, free, and untouched. They start so low to the ground then fly so high to the sky. Therefore, I envy them. I'm jealous. Because when I hit rock bottom I could not grow my wings and fly. I did not feel beautiful. I was not left untouched. Because when people see beautiful things they can not keep their hands to themselves. They envy you. They become jealous. They start to pick away your peace of mind As if they were picking thorns off a rose Because it hurts them, To see that your best qualities help them discover their flaws As once J Cole has said, “Life is beauty in a struggle and ugliness in a success” So don't let them be the reason why you’re depressed. Don't believe him when he calls you beautiful only when he sees you undressed. He only sees your breast and an easy way access underneath that silk red dress. Believe me when I say they will rip you apart and leave you with a bleeding heart. They become the painter and you become their abstract art. 83
