--a metamorphosis--

cocooned with rags
bathed in cold fogs
a dreary sight
on a moonlit night...

in deep slumber
i was cast away
to sleep forever,
that's what they say...

but life calls
and i shall heed
i wiggle slowly
until i bleed...

pain...sweet pain
alas!! i felt you
the seering warmth of my own flesh
fed my hunger for revenge...

dark..deep..
this has been my home
confined spaces for a throne
a kingdom of my own...

but watch,
and see with your eyes
i will emerge from the abyss
i will rise from these debris..

slowly...
my cage will break
and i will peer outside
and look you in the eye...

i will break free
i will make you see
I've earned now my wings
to fly away from all the bitter things...

i will now taste the sweetness i deserve
i will now soar the freedom i have preserved
now that it's all through...
i know which better way to go.

Break away!

Very nice illustrations!
Change is more of a need sometimes...
than, just a mere desire...
And, that's what you expressed beautifully here.
Thanks for posting!

I envy butterflies. They can transform beautifully and fly.
