It's suffocating
Deafening within

Shielded within solitude
Safe from the harmful rays of life
Growing stronger,
Changing,
Evolving

This is what it's all been about
Why I've struggled
Clinging onto my pitiful existence
Why I've crawled, hid, fought and lived
To enter this protective prison

And now I'll break free
Struggling once more to rid myself of my previous life
To leave behind this chrysalis
Ever slowly breathing new life

Alas,
I'm free
I'm beautiful


I'll spread my new wings and soar through the light
Gliding through life
Because I'm no longer that disgusting caterpillar you stepped on
No,
Now I'm a beautiful butterfly
Flying away from your reach
Flying onto a new life
