Only An Insect, Becomes A Butterfly Poem by Stevens Cadet

A root unable to upend
A bargain for abundance
Leaves you less than
In a time
Where parallels collide
One side with enough of a supply
To bring your dreams to life
Other side trying to find a place to sleep at night
I just know I keep them both in mind
Experiences open mine in ways
Elders tried to make em wise
We all walk a path
No matter your Shoe Size
Only if a Soul's inside
I became one with the waves
And didn't recognize where I came
At 8, knowing this would infinitely
Diminish me, we're all 1 of 1
And my experience and circumstance
Meant that I owe it all
To give it back as recorded thoughts
Taking a 3D form
All written, am I the Author, an Editor
Or just publishing it?
If it came into being
From what I seen, believe, feel and Be, I plant the seed and need Trees
Just to Breath
What I achieve
I had to see
When I
Close
My
Eyes
And
Open
Them
Wide

We all play this game of life
How will they say your character's like?

Which Attributes would you rise?
What's the ones on decline?

Too tempted to find the bugs
In my program

Plus all my sisters asked me to make them
Meet their end

Whenever they're seen
I rather take them out & let ‘em Free

Like what if, there's Beings
Comparable to these
Degrees of separation

That done got me in this placement
Where my lack of comfort could erase em
With barely any effort taken
Kinda thing that got me stuck in the Matrix
Of this Life, seeing everything that coincides!
