A BUTTERFLY DOESN'T KNOW

On top of a flower sits a butterfly
Holding tightly in the breeze
The longer it holds on, the more it tries
To stop the wind from setting it free

Once a butterfly, afraid to change
It had fears of letting go
The more it tried to rearrange
The harder the wind did blow

A fighting force within
Kept the butterfly from growth
No longer stuck in its chrysalis
Yet still, it does self-loathe

It doesn't see the changes made
It cannot see its growth
A caterpillar, it did not stay
But still, it doesn't know

No matter how many times it flies
It forgets that it can soar
A caterpillar it is inside
Even though, it is no more
