Ever wondered "why butterflies?" If so, let us dive into my version of Pitch's past in poetry form.

They flutter,
flitter in the morning air,
their frail wings
dancing in the sky,
lifting them into clouds
of brightly coloured petals,
letting them,
for just a moment,
just a few seconds,
minutes,
to freely fly.
.
As he watches them,
with innocence,
with childish joviality;
such an insignificant scene,
a beautiful triviality.
.
Curiosity is lit -
golden, platinum and silver
- wonder alight in his eyes.
.
He follows the little
flying beauties,
running after them
in hopes of flying,
just like them.
.
Oh, how he wishes to be free,
to bring joy to the world,
to be something.
How he wishes to have wings
of his own.
But what mere mortal,
mere boy,
with no wings to speak of,
no magic to boast,
cand set foot and hand
in the air?
.
So he continues chasing them,
those butterfly-like entities,
chasing his wishes;
his dreams.
Those little things,
which give hope and birth
to greater goals.
.
Yet, he trips up,
on his own foolishness,
youth pushes him down
and down he falls
onto the ground.
No mortal he knows of
could ever fly.
.
This little ravanette
sitting on the grass,
in fields of flowers
and creatures free to
venture through the air,
he continues to watch,
to patiently, curiously stare.
A dream of his,
a joy of his,
that will last.
This picture is forever,
a memory
that shall not wither
or die.
.
A single moment of true happiness
passes through his matured mind,
as he is reminded of those times,
of chasing dreams
shaped like butterflies.

A/N - Mind you, this isn't canon. This is part of a past I've thought up, a little of Pitch's childhood and a reason for his butterfly dreams. Dreams come a lot from areas of childhood, as its then that you are probably most imaginative, or at least, they do in my opinion. On a more negative note, the chances of me ever adding to this past arc whilst keeping it mostly light-hearted and positive are near none. What to say, my mind's messed up.
