A Moth Is Also a Butterfly

Though I am dark, the light ignites my curiosity, see me as an abstract manipulation and acknowledge me but please don’t shun me. Just like the butterfly we blossomed from a cocoon not a day too soon. Although I am not seen as having splendor and grace but in the dark I can even see beauty upon your face. Yet our existence you compartmentalize, so therefore I have to put up a disguise. Yet still, you want me to believe that you don’t think that I'm wise. So now you find it fit to categorize instead of synchronize. Haven't you heard, that the sum of all parts are better than the whole? Pain is a catalyst for Change and yet it's the only thing that's constant. So like the butterfly I emerge from the ground, exploring new beginnings to the moon out of my cocoon not a day too soon. Your perception of me will not hold me captive, because My creator is our orchestra-tor, and has made me free. Just like the butterfly I was given the present and it is wrapped with joy. Too bad you can’t see that the basis of our existence is to be free. So like the butterfly, I too ascend on a mission and emerge from the ground to explore new beginnings to the moon out of my cocoon not a day too soon. I am comfortable with my dark wings because you see, a Moth is also a butterfly We go through our stage of Metamorphosis and then through time we fly
