Metamorphosis
The caterpillar has been eating green, dull, leaves all her life
Not giving a care
Not caring about what is happening in her environment
She is too busy eating leaves
A feeling tells her it's time to change
It's time to become a butterfly
She is afraid, afraid of facing the consequences of her metamorphosis
She is too accustomed to eating leaves
It’s what she has done all her life, relying on mother nature's gifts
It’s all she knows
But the butterfly inside her says:
Being a caterpillar won't allow you to explore valleys and fragrant flowers
It won’t allow you to suck the sweet nectar that life has to offer
Being a caterpillar won’t give you opportunities
It will bond you to your same life, eating green dull leaves
So caterpillar, do you want to remain eating leaves your entire life and be eaten by the birds around you?
The caterpillar thought
With all the doubts in her tiny mind she accepted her fate and formed her cocoon
Thinking about billions of possibilities
The caterpillar really wants to become a butterfly
She wants to taste the sweet nectar that life has been waiting to give her
But she doesn't want to risk it all
She is afraid that if she does then there would be no way back to her dull, green, leaf
