Trapped

From: Chloe

Trapped, trapped in a body
So much life, joy and spirit,
But trapped in a body.

Such an abundance
Of life and laughter
But crippled
By pain and disease.

A heart of gold
And a longing to help,
But held back by illness.

There is such a spirit,
Dwelling within,
Waiting, waiting for freedom,
Waiting for a release.

And through the pain,
Suffering and darkness,
Comes a flutter of life,
Like a butterfly,
Springing from its cocoon.

Finally,
Release
Freedom
And life can truly be lived!

Freedom has come,
The butterfly in the darkness
