The caterpillar was always late, When the caterpillar would try to fly, he would fall, The other caterpillars had transformed into something else and grew the most beautiful wings, Whilst he had been left behind The caterpillar would observe the other caterpillars, Copying their behaviour, studying them, Maybe if he was like them, he would also become something beautiful like them Though he never would, For many years, the caterpillar loathed himself, He questioned why no matter how much he tried to be like the other caterpillars, he would never transform into something as beautiful as them The caterpillar had copied the other caterpillars so much that he had forgotten himself in the process, with only pieces of who he actually was left behind So, he slowly picked the pieces back up, Quietly learning more about himself, And for once, not looking down And one day, He too transformed, And grew the most beautiful wings

Metamorphosis
The caterpillar was always late, When the caterpillar would try to fly, he would fall, The other caterpillars had transformed into something else and grew the most beautiful wings, Whilst he had been left behind The caterpillar would observe the other caterpillars, Copying their behaviour, studying them, Maybe if he was like them, he would also become something beautiful like them Though he never would, For many years, the caterpillar loathed himself, He questioned why no matter how much he tried to be like the other caterpillars, he would never transform into something as beautiful as them The caterpillar had copied the other caterpillars so much that he had forgotten himself in the process, with only pieces of who he actually was left behind So, he slowly picked the pieces back up, Quietly learning more about himself, And for once, not looking down And one day, He too transformed, And grew the most beautiful wings
