Butterflies.
This poem is about the fear and nerves one feels during confrontation. This poem also focuses on having a fear of something for so long but thinking you’re capable of getting over it.
As a kid I never liked butterflies.
It would scare me, one of the many fears I had, childish I know.
When I think of the thought of getting butterflies in my stomach, I think of red flags.
I hate the feeling of being nervous and confrontation.
When I see you, I get nervous.
From the people I’ve liked, you were different.
I was the type of person to be quick to judge.
I didn’t feel nervous, only when I said Hi, spoke out loud, or made eye contact with you.
It was scary at first, but over time I felt at ease.
You were different, you had kind, pretty eyes.
You made me get butterflies in my stomach.
It was a funny feeling, I didn’t seem to hate it now.
Maybe butterflies weren’t so bad after all.
