Transformation
A butterfly starts its life
nothing like she will become.
only goal in life
to eat, get fatter
A gluttonous caterpillar.
She forms her chrysalis
so that no one can
see her transform.
She emerges
beautiful
flying
perpetuating life.
I wait.
Stuck in this stage
of immaturity, selfishness.
No one can see my
transformation
hidden in this chrysalis.
I want to stretch my wings
and take flight.
