Sweet butterfly


Growing up as a Caterpillar isn’t easy 

The air is unpleasantly windy 

Pushing me off the tree rapidly 

Plants taking off into the wind swiftly 

Other caterpillars push you off trees briskly 

I roam through the world mystified 

Trying my best to survive each day satisfied 

Pursing my dreams of becoming confident

Trying to pursue those dreams of becoming a butterfly 

With everyday changing 

By developing a cacoon 

To soon rupture out and go into the world changed

Into a sweet full of color butterfly 

Whose wings attract positivity 

Whose colorful wings brighten up anyone’s day 

Wings that break boundaries and get you out of your comfort zone 

My patience of once being a caterpillar has helped me become a butterfly 

The wings given to me are given as a reward for facing the world with hard work 

Through hard work and effort anything can be pursued 

Now I know that If I set my mind into anything I can assure myself it will happen 

It only takes one sweet caterpillar to change the world.
