Can I paint you a picture
With rivers flowing red?
Do you hear the funeral march
That plays on inside my head?
Have you seen my butterfly?

My body is a canvas
Painted by a knife
A representation of society
And it's influence on my life
Do they love me now?

They stole my butterfly
So they could see the scars
And as tears mix with blood
I stare at the stars
I wonder...am I pretty now?
