Poetry, "Fly Away"

Elizabeth Butler is just your ordinary, small town girl from Orlinda, Tennessee. Brought into the world on December 11th, 2002, she grew up with the exact same people and exact same fields for entire life. Growing up, Elizabeth was bullied; she felt that she wasn’t accepted by society’s standards, and that her worth and future were nothing more than the cow's sitting next to her. It was difficult, but she always turned to writing. Being in the leadership of Beta, she began to believe in herself and her writing with a new self confidence. Writing is her way of fighting against Southern stereotypes and becoming something greater than she currently is. Her dream is to travel the world, spreading her writing to people who may get it or not, but at the end of the day, she wants to make you think about what she says.
