Wings
A caterpillar resting on a leaf
Filled with nothing but greif
Missing something that was never owned
How can this be so?
This empty feeling that's inside
Its getting harder to hide
I feel like I could fly
I think I could fly
I want to fly
Can I fly?
No, I wont fly
Now the caterpillar is taken back
Will I ever fly or will I forever stay back?
The caterpillar didn't realize
Her process was very much streamline
Although she is not aware
There was no reason to be in despair
Slowly she started to transition
She had enough ambition
From a sluggish empty ground-boung caterpillar
To something unrecognizeable in the mirror
She is now a butterfly
Free to jump in the air and fly
Feeling like a king
She now has her wings
