True Blue

I'm true blue until the end.

But there is only so far that I'm willing to bend.

Whether you're my friend or my spouse, you will have my loyalty.

When someone is playing me for a fool it can be hard for me to see.

My favorite color is blue.

My favorite butterfly is the blue morpho butterfly too.

I have been attracted to butterflies all of my life.

I believe we can be transformed in the darkness of our pain and strife.

Green is an unappealing Caterpillar that walks on the ground,

Most of the time we would rather not have him around.

As he eats till he's full and goes into his cocoon, he thinks it is the end.

What he doesn't realize is that in the darkness he will be transformed into a beautiful butterfly that is real and not pretend.

I aspire to be like the Caterpillar and be transformed from the dark, hard times of my days.

I wish I could be like the butterfly with all its colorful ways.

A butterfly goes from one beautiful flower to another.

Trying to keep it as a pet will make it wither away and smother.

I am like the butterfly in that I seek bright colors and good things every day.

I want to be like the blue butterfly and freely flutter away.

Some people try to keep a butterfly on a string,

While others pull off its pretty wings.

When this happens the butterfly will suffer and die.

This will make the softhearted children cry.

I feel like the color blue represents the God-like qualities in me.

I am always trying to help others believe in their self and a bright future to see.

I forgive others too much who have done me wrong.

In my heart, I stay loyal to them too long.

When I've had enough I will simply turn and walk away.

Even though the true blue part of me thinks I should stay.

At first, a new friend is like a shining star.

But eventually, my brain realizes what they truly are.

In one relationship too long I did stay.

And during our time together he wiped all my bright happy dreams away.

I did many things to bend over backward to make it work.

I finally figured out he was just a narcissistic jerk.

One day he threatened to end both our lives.

That's when I knew it was time to leave without goodbyes.

Now that I'm free from him my happy color is blue.

I have learned that to my own self I must be true.

Now I see a rainbow of colors everywhere I look.

It's amazing how much of my hopes and dreams he took.

Living on my own brings me peace and joy.

Now I am no longer his little toy.
