Unfolding the butterfly! 

Unfolding the butterfly as it says!

Once upon a time, there lived a little caterpillar 

Long, spiky and filthy

As she crawled her way through the dirt 

She could never see her beauty! 

She creeped and struggled 

To accept 

That she was ugly and bothered. 

She was gloomy and reckoned she was nearing doom. 

She ached and wriggled

She was ignorant and baffled. 

One day she crept to a broken monument 

She thought she was dying and will never rejuvenate! 

She was right, because it was the time for metamorphosis. 

She woke up from a long slumber. 

She was confused when she opened her eyes

She wasn't the creepy creature anymore. 

She didn't understand what had happened to her

She struggled to creep but she no more knew how! 

At the broken ruins where she had taken shelter 

Patiently waiting was someone there, 

He unfolded her wings and whispered to her 'fly'. 

She took off and fell, 

But she tried again. 

She tried it again and succeeded. 

There was a clear blue sky 

And nectar of blossoms. 

Words of that someone bloomed in her soul! 

She never left the the ruins till her ruin 

Because that someone  was all that she was ever in need! 

She would have flown away 

With her little wings spread apart, 

But she fell in love, 

She knew how hard it is unfolding a butterfly!
