butterfly

Define me 

Fold me 

Package me 

Mold me 

You want something different 

You don’t want me 

I represent freedom 

Not stability 

I’m sunshine 

And air 

I’m abstract dear 

You can’t put limits 

On butterflies 

unless you use a net 

And trap them 

into confined spaces 

I know it’s hard to hear me say this 

I’m not what your looking for

You need something more 

Reliable

Solid 

Concrete 

I’m looking just to be free 

I want to wander 

I lust to fly 

With out limits I’ll go so high

I like the poem, and not wishing to put a dampener on things, butterflies are not as purposeless as you suggest. Their purpose is to further their species, therefore their whole life is dedicated to feeding, finding a suitable site, and laying eggs.

Butterflys needs to land, need cocoons and are stronger in groups..
