Metamorphosis

 

You were once a caterpillar,
Every day looking to change,
For the society you quitted to,
In the pursuit of your wings.

Later on, you were a chrysalis,
Every day looking to emerge,
This time self-reliant,
Just awaiting for a chance.

For you sought no more attention,
But only happiness to live,
In the path you had your lessons,
And you fought to get up here.

But look at you, my butterfly,
Here you are, flying around,
No more looking for acceptance,
No more looking to fit in.

From the deep, you\'ve reached the sky,
Slightly touching heaven\'s clouds,
From your dreams, you\'ve come to fly,
To the beautiful reality,
That once was born in your heart.

I shall admire you forever,
For going through this change,
You\'ve become a great Monarch,
The sovereign...
Of your very own realm.
