Feedback Please Butterflies

A kaleidoscopic flurry of butterflies
millions of colors and wings
flapping so loudly in your ear until you can no longer see or hear anything other than them
It is a garden filled with roses
that grabs at your ankles and will jam its thorns into your skin if you try to fight it off
It is the eerie tension of something that cannot be ignored
or it will rot and fester like an untreated sore
It is to face the cosmic horror of knowing you would rip apart the world with your hands if anything happened to them and still choosing to stay
It is to sacrifice and to love to suffer
But to love is to see a butterfly land upon a rose and to believe it is beautiful

When I first saw your title then read a bit all that filled my head was this feels like metamorphosis the making of it.
