Growing up is like
Metamorphosis.
First comes the Egg,
To young to do much of anything.
Next is the Larvae,
Just the beginning of learning how the world works,
And the beginning of the adventure we call
Life.
After that comes the Caterpillar,
Eating as much as you can to
Grow up big and strong!
Next comes the cocoon,
You hide away,
Trapped inside yourself.
Feeling like you're stuck in one place,
But in reality
You are just changing,
Morphing
Into a stunning,
Wonderful creature!
Leaving behind your shell of innocence,
Unfurling your wings of compassion.
Growing up is like
Metamorphosis.
