Transformation Poem by Paolo Giovanni Lonewolf Marra

All my life I've wriggled along
On the same old path
To the same old song
Always fearing what was around the corner
Wanting everything in perfect order
Same old routine day and night
Wake, work, eat, sleep never any delight
Until that day I made a choice
To live my life entombed in a cocoon

For months I hid inside my prison
Always in fear of making a decision
Then one day I noticed a change
The fear of life was drifting away
Curiosity began to creep in
As the transformation begins

Wanting more with every day
I knew that soon I'd break away
Then that magic day arrived
Where I broke free
And grew my wings
