You might think I’m just
a 15-year-old girl
with brown hair and green eyes
but I know I am more
much more than that
not a flower or train
not a hurricane or wave
but a caterpillar
stuck in the cocoon of life
wanting to break free
finally I push through
and enter the world as a new
beautiful Monarch butterfly
flying to new heights
exploring new places
finally becoming free from troubles
of my old cocoon
changing for the better
and leaving my comfortable self behind
to show my true colors
my beautiful colors
that most never knew about
as I fly from flower to flower
I spread the pollen
helping any flower in need
and soaking up the sunlight
I continue to fly
seeking adventure and wonder
the brown-haired green-eyed girl
is now a butterfly
soaring expectations
and showing her true colors.
