Free

 Tonight I'm free. I said what I had to.  I made sure my voice didn't shake. I made sure I didn't cry.  And now I'm free.  I'm light. I'm free. 

Butterfly

 "You're too heavy!" said the butterfly. "You're going to fall off!" "I'm not and shush, you're not the only one with wings Butterfly, watch me fly!" Kaiah took a deep breath in and raised her arms up, and with knees slightly bent, she let go. Her wings flapped a little and she felt as if she was falling for a moment but then the wind caught her and she rose. She was flying! Finally flying!  "You did it Kaiah! You're a butterfly! You're like me!" said Butterfly, coming up next to her.  "I am! And I'm free. That's the thing, Butterfly. I am free". 

Blush pink

 The day ended and you were silent again.  You promised you'd write, But you didn't.  It's okay, I guess. You probably have your reasons.  I can wait I suppose for a little while more.  But then again, how long for, must I?  Just like the blush pink fading in the sky. 

Say it

 If they came back, just for a day...what would you say to them?  What would you do together, knowing that by the end of the day, they'd be gone again?  .....? And so then why is it that we can't say those things to them, while they are with us, alive?  Say it. Say it all, before it's too late rather than stay silent and say nothing at all.
