Lord of the Butterflies

by Andrea Gibson

Of all the violence I have known in my life I have never known violence like the violence I have spoken to myself, and I have seen almost everyone around me

what i want most is to live the rest of my life desperately wanting to live it.

think the hardest people in the world to forgive are the people we once were, the people we are trying desperately to not stir into the recipe of who we are now.

I can’t believe I finally adore a human as much as I adore my dog.
