Sentimental Journeys

When you care deeply
You expose yourself
You open your heart to burning wounds
and thrashing,
And reveal a sacred part of you
That one can cherish or tarnish
Then, you feel the pain of being
That awakens you from within
To experience all that life has to offer
Life, that appears gloomy
Can transform you to other realms
Such that remained alien until the cut
Sinks into your veins
Seeps through your soul
Sends impulses to the ends of your fingertips
To go through the furnace or to die
It’s a choice you hold to be frozen or
Become a metamorphosed butterfly.
