caterpillar

for you i am whatever you want me to be.

i would morph myself into a butterfly if that's what you want.

i would peel off this skin i already possess and sew on a new one.

i would forage in the forest for wings and attach them to my back.

is that what you want?

have i been a caterpillar for too long?
