Freshly scratched my way out of a cocoon
See the stars in my eyes
Happy, pretty dazzling smile
Laugh as sweet as the edge of a knife
Clamping down on your butterfly
Wings ripped apart
You can never have her now
I no longer wake up screaming
Go back to sleep, wish it wasn't a dream
And I sit here on my ledge
Looking down at snow wet cracks
Waiting to give my wings a chance
Fly little butterfly, If you can
I'm still peach but have pretty swirls now
Craved into gracefully
Don't be scared love
It is only temporary
I'm going to be something extraordinary
With my dreams whispering tight
Black curls choking mine
Lying still below the reach
Transition complete
I'm finally free

- Comment from author about the poem: Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation. The most recognisable example of such, is the butterfly.
