Poetry Friday

Growing up


is like being a butterfly...
you start as a grub 
and you are in a state of ignorance,
and uninformed
because when you are like this
you can`t see the real world

Then you are a cocoon
waiting for the time to change
waiting in the darkness
wondering what`s going to happen to you
and you are scared, afraid, excited 
and you are anxious to know
what the world looks like...

And finally you are the butterfly
and you are free, hopeful, amazed
ready to explore the wolrd
asking questions about it,
looking for new opportunities
challenging your abilities,
trying to fit in the wolrd, 
trying to find the place
where you belong 

Now you are different 
and your wings 
are ready to take on this flight 
but then you are gone...
