You admire me now,
But,
I was once, a tiny egg
lying on the verge of a leaf,
trusting none.
Next, a caterpillar,
creeping, crawling, eating
and eating,
preparing myself to
survive.
Then, a life inside a cocoon,
Pupa, they call.
Nobody knows,
I’m dying inside,
suffocating in isolation
and the terrible
darkness.
What!?
Am I a butterfly?
with wings, a fresh life
and a new world.
The darkness got me
colours all over,
from being unnoticed
to, my presence bringing joy.
Today, I’m independent
and hard to catch.
Remember,
I don’t fly high in pride,
I stay grounded.
That’s how a transformation must be.
Thank you so much for reading!π

I always call myself a butterfly. But it’s lifecycle to emerge as a beautiful insect is so difficult and requires a lot of patience. I had this in my mind for so long turned it into a poem today afternoon.
Thanks again, Ashish!π

Is hema, this colorful butterfly?
Beautiful Analogy, hema.
How about adding an image of a colorful butterfly, a cocoon, egg or larva, to make the write up more colorful.
