Dark, dreary, detached Consumed by my own shell. Mind spacing, heart racing, As I try to release from this Hell. The unknown approaches, Striking fear through the light. What am I becoming? A monstrous sight? As the time has lapsed, I can finally see What I have been dreading Is a transformed me. Robust, recovered, rejuvenated, And free to fly. I can finally see myself as A beautiful butterfly.
