A Flutterby's Plight

Ordinary amidst a thousand eggs, I was a mere nobody. Plain and common were all I was -- unnoticeable in the lush green vast. Burning with thrill I crawled into their circle. Alas, this world threw me out in the cold. With my fragile heart crushed and rejected, I confined myself in a humble mesh. In solitude,I remained. with only darkness for a friend. The world went on with their usuals, forgetting one minute individual. "Your time will come," I kept in mind. "You'll rule the meadows and soar the sky." At last, I felt the wings warm my spine. A part of me was shunned with fear while the other half leaped with zeal. I heard whispers from afar. There was a call within my heart. "Forget your past, begin your flight. Heaven's waiting to see her child." With a confident stance I greeted the world. "I came back not to seek revenge, but to rediscover my worth;" and as the wind breezed through my wings, I redeemed back my lost esteem. With the empowering hope burning in my heart... in my flight I let no creature thwart.
