Colourful
and beautiful they fly
hovering around the sweet flowers around
a new caterpillar
entered the town
it was its debut year around
walking the aisle
it settled over the leaf
watching the numerous butterfly on screen
his idol was them
he wished to fly like them
with pretty wings around
pink, red and orange dots about
Fantasising those idols about
it settled on a green leaf
engulfing whatever it could eat
he ate
while others watched him
mocking his fat body about
he cried at nights
hid under the leaf
continued to eat
once it was enough about
And enough with all those words carrying around
he shut his ears
combing a cocoon around
maybe it could shield
done with its home
with full sound proof
he decided to sleep
not to worry what would anyone speak
days passed by
the cocoon lay as it was
suddenly a magic was felt
the cocoon split slowly
struggling was a being
calling it a metamorphosis queen
glory about
wings flapped around
out came two pair of wings
yet shocked by all
it wasn’t a butterfly
flapping around
the long gone to what it was
only to realise it never could be one
cause it was meant to be other one
a moth in grey and spots
yet having its own accord…
