Bashful butterflies flutter about,
yearning to befriend others,
yet their fears hold them back each time.
All they desire is to be liked,
but they struggle to understand how.
In their quest, they try to become someone they are not.
Little did they know that this was not the way
until they stumbled upon a garden bright,
where colors danced in the warm sunlight.
Among the blossoms, a wise old bee
whispered gently, “Just be free.
Embrace your colors, your gentle sway,
for the truest friends will love you as you play.
No need to change, no mask to wear,
your heartfelt spirit is beyond compare.”
With newfound courage, they spread their wings,
navigating blooms and the joy it brings.
No longer bashful, they twirled in delight,
finding friendships that felt just right.
Together they laughed, together they soared,
in a world where love was the greatest reward.
So remember, dear friend, in your own special way,
authenticity is what helps you play.
