Journey of a Caterpillar



The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.



The overprotected caterpillar saw harsh reality at a tender age.
So he built a cocoon and never went out.
The outside world seemed wonderful but it filled him with rage.
All he could do was scream and shout.

The thought of never making it on his own filled him with fear
He hated drugs, alcohol and beer.
Alas! something unthinkable took place
He had lovely wings and was free to fly
The interesting creatures took him in their embrace and soon he was no longer shy.

It all seemed fine but something felt wrong inside
The caterpillar was a butterfly now and decided to enjoy the ride

His intelligence and speed seemed not to matter
It was only his beautiful wings they were after. His dreams were shattered.
He decided to be brave and built them a tiny grave
Oh they shall be buried alive one fine day
Try to escape but won't find a way.

The butterfly found peace in a comforting thought
He was a fighter and he fought.
