Prayer of a Caterpillar

Before I am going to die

please let me live as butterfly.

Nice to me

by Ingrid Prohaska

I was not always nice to me
my soul felt harm, my heart unfree
but then one day an earthquake like
my world broke into pieces.

I stood there naked and alone
felt every touch of air
felt every raindrop on my skin
and every sunray on my hair.

Everything seemed lost for me
but then - somehow reborn
I've started being nice to me
my soul feels calm, my heart is free.

Maybe ...

by Ingrid Prohaska


Maybe
I am just hurt
but maybe
I am wise
maybe
I just want to say
try to be honest
for the rest of your life
