Live, Laugh, Love


A lonely caterpillar
On a road of lost hope
A beautiful cocoon
Wrapped tightly and gently
With secrets of the untold

An ordinary caterpillar
Just wanting to know her way
Suddenly tired
So full of leaves
A nap she needs

A nap she must take
So long cruel world
She will no longer be ridiculed
Sleep a while she will
Waking slowly but rested

Emerging lighter, happier
A lone caterpillar
Emerging a beautiful butterfly
Fly away, fly away
On amazing colored wings

Fly she does

this will certify that the above work is completely original


The author's comments:
This poem symbolizes a journey that I took a few weeks ago. to most it will seem like just another poem about a caterpillar becoming a butterfly but it is not. it is about a journey from feeling alone and ugly to becoming filled with joy and love and feeling freely beautiful.
