Emergence: The Butterflies' Naivete

Focused on the butterfly without wings 
A beauty that is yet to be realized 
Comforted by the cocoon wrapped in ridicule 
For only time will reveal her true purpose 
Emergence from stagnation into the great unknown 
Whatever remains unseen, will remain unattainable 
With a rebellious spirit, she urges others to see her beauty within 
An ugly truth hidden under wraps 
Blanketed with the burden of those who emerged before her 
Into the light she goes, still trapped within the darkness
