The Butterfly Effect

~ By Andy Iyer ~

What Are You Looking At?! Why Are You So Sad? 
Do You Think It’s Good or Is It Bad?! 

What Do You See?! 
Does Everything Seem Hopeless As It Can Be?! 

Does Your Life To You, Seem Like A Waste? 
Are You Even Living It Or Going Through It In Haste?!

Do You Measure Your Success By Your Failures? 
Have Regrets And Bad Choices, Trapped You Here?! 

Is There An Escape Or A Way Out To A Better Tomorrow?
If Life Offers A Restart, Can You Ensure That You Won’t End Up Again With Similar Sorrows?!

The Answers Are Easier Than What It Seems,
For You Become What You See.

Don’t Be So Harsh On Yourself, 
No One’s Perfect, We All Need Help.

Life Is A Journey Of Continuous Progress;
Even With All Your Short Comings, You Should Never Digress.

Your Failure And Regrets, Teach You What Not To Do Next,
Now Always Aim To Be Better Than Your Previous Best.

For You Are Not Competing With The World Around;
It Wouldn’t Be Fair, As No Else Is As Unique And Profound. 

Focus Only On Becoming A Better Version Of Your Previous Self, Each Day,
And, With Every New Dawn, Let All Prior Sorrows Blow Away.

Like A Caterpillar, Dare To Let Go Of Your Old Wretched Ways,
Break Through The Conflicts Of Your Mental and Emotional Cocoon; 
And, On Wings Of Hope Of A Better Tomorrow, Keep Aiming For The Sky and Fly Away. 

Don’t Waste Any More Time, On The What It Could Have/Would Have Been?
For Right Outside The Darkness Of Your Cocoon Are Bright Colors And Light Yet To Be Seen.

Don’t Let Your Past Define Your Future, 
Accept! Life Is Beautiful And A Great Tutor. 

Surround Yourself With All Things, Joyful And Glee. 
For The Ultimate Truth Is You Become What You See.

Focus Not On Where You Are Today, 
Hold Your Head High,
Focus On The Sky.

Sooner Or Later The Cocoon Will Fray,
You, Will Step Into Your Brand New Day.

Groanings Of Your Past Will No Longer Be Nigh,
Above All Mountains and Over All The Seas,
Like A Monarch Butterfly, One Day You Will Fly High.

So, Go Ahead And See Your Inner Butterfly, 
Not In Your Present; See In Your Future It Lies
See, Yes! See Yourself High Up In The Skies !!!
