Shes a butterfly showing off her colorful wings

I can pay my bills online, calulate my spending money.

I walk to work every morning and drag my heavy legs home after the sun is high and hot in the sky.

I danced the night away with friends, tugging on my jeans skirt and wiping the hair off my face.

I caught a few boys looking my way, they gazed at me but never spoke a word.

I even dreamt about a new guy, he stood in shinny armor and kissed my hand.He was built with chivalry.

I bought a bag full of clothes with no one in mind to wear them for but myself.

I can lay in bed cradled in my blanket and not shed a tear.

Its a dream far away that I cry.

Its a wish that my independence is laboring for.

If you look at me. You'll see the wall has crumbled.

And I stand in the dust around my feet, the concrete cant hold me down anymore.
