metamorphasis

 they pressed her down,
kept her tight in place,
stopped her wings from growing.
"we'll protect you from the outside world"
they said.
"it can really be a devil."
and she remained subdued
because she knew not what to think.
but through a hole she saw a single ray of light
she peered through,
and in an instant she was captured.
a single ray of light,her only taste
but it had become her one,true addiction.
the need to know,
became stronger than the arms holding her in place
her petals were weakening
they were about to give in
and the hidden beauty of the flower
was about to be known
