The winds have changed
A new season begins
Yet my personality goes unchanged
But I feel different within
Like pieces have been exchanged

The trauma of evolution is painful
It can tear the wings from the butterfly
It can unravel wool
The wounds can be so deep you want to die
But you know you can't pull the plug
You've got to defy

You will be shattered
You will feel broken
Shards of your heart will be scattered
But the words that go unsaid mean more than what is spoken
You'll have to fix the tattered pages
But first you'll have to find what's not broken

Once the caterpillar is sealed into it's shell
Life can move on
It is it's new place to dwell
It's the child's place of transformation; Where it turns from duck to swan
The spot where every piece fell

Upon the completion of it's cycle the new-born child can be released
A new person, waiting to live a new life
The old them; deceased
Born into a new world free of strife
Falling into the world as a new beast

Though my metamoprphosis has just begun,
It's already effecting my very core
It's shed light on places I thought would never see the sun
It's taught me to adventure into places I'd normally never explore
It's teaching me how to finally have fun
It's given me wings and taught me how to soar

Wings of a butterfly, magnificent and colorful
With violet and emerald
Beautiful and mysterious, not at all dull

I've got eyes and now I can see
Eyes of exquisite sapphire
I'm not as blind as I used to be

I now have ears
Made to listen to the smaller voices
Ears that can hear the smallest tear

I've now got a voice
I'm not just another being anymore
I've learned how to speak and i've gained the right of choice

However, I am still unable to control
It dosen't bother me
Because I am now a truly unique soul
Filled with hope and enough personality for three
I am no longer a foal
