here i am

here i am..
at the crossroads of life now and life ahead
seemingly standing atop a cliff
ready to jump off into the endless pit of who knows

i am but a butterfly
though i wish to be, i know it can never be
hoping i could fly away and reach the highest trees and smile at the sky
feeling free, living free, so beautifully apart from reality

here i am..
stepping back into my cradle
wanting to be held, waiting for a warm embrace, searching for love
reaching out to the sun, asking it's rays to dry my tears

then i feel the wind blowing beneath my wings
urging me to fly high while my feet are firmly put on the ground
and i run as fast as i could trying to take flight
i stop at the edge of the cliff, am i ready?

here i am..
at the crossroads of life now and life ahead
do i choose to settle on what can still be improved yet remains to be broken
or do i jump, making use of my wings, flying towards something close enough to perfection

here i am..
at the crossroads of life now and life ahead
what path do i take?
