“you wanted me to dream.
and you just wouldn’t ever let me
give in to the give-up.
you’d say…
“you better stay hellbent in your heart
and go where it wants you to go… because
it will ache if you don’t.”
and when i ache a little
from waiting on a dream, i remember
what you said, and i stay hellbent in my heart,
and i try to go where it wants me to go…
because i know that it will ache
even more if i don’t.”

Published on August 7, 2023, the butterflies rising poem ‘you wanted me to dream… you’d say… you better stay hellbent in your heart’ was inspired by something her grandma used to say to her:
“you better stay hellbent in your heart
and go where it wants you to go… because
it will ache if you don’t.”
Her grandma was a beautiful and passionate woman, and she was always trying to teach butterflies rising to dream, and she has definitely passed her dreamer energy on to butterflies rising.
