I wish to have the capabilities of a butterfly.
To leave an empty shell and fly far away.
I do not mean to traverse space,
I do not mean to flee home.
I simply seek to remove the shell of my past,
and to leave this bitter cage.
I know I'm not trapped,
There are no bars to keep me in,
It's a mentality.
It should be easy to take off and fly.
But this caterpillar is stuck munching it's leaf,
rather than to seek new heights.
