The Cocoon: Society and the Butterfly.
It closes in and yet
i push
It forces me into
separation
Yet I push
It makes walls and yet
i strive
It allows me again
to re-re-think
Yet I strive
It holds me back yet
i force
It questions all
my before thought
Yet I force
It refuses light yet
i yearn
It darkens eyes to
all new knowledge
Yet I yearn
It repeats closure yet
i try
It feeds on old
making none new
Yet I try
It demands less and yet
i want
It lives to repeat
to deaden me
Yet I want
It is not my end but
the start
It will free my mind!
giving freedom
Butterfly.
