Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

Not knowing
Is akin to wandering
in the wilderness
 
Lost and alone
Without answers
Feasting on bitterness
 
How did I get here?
I am still uncertain
It was not explained
 
Never a factor 
It was a course to take 
As if it were ordained
 
I spun a cocoon 
Until it formed
a charming chrysalis
 
I lay dormant, thinking
For the longest time
Sure nothing was amiss
 
Metamorphosis complete
I am now as free
as a butterfly, rosy pink
 
Reborn and renewed
Internal knowledge 
was missing link
