Metamorphosis

I change. 
I grow. 
I conquer. 

I am an ant, 
that walks on a busy sidewalk. 
Every crack, 
blade of grass, 
and human foot, 
is an obsticle that I must overcome. 

As I 
'walk' 
on this 
'sidewalk' 
I.... 
metamorphize. 
I become what the 
'other ants' 
think a man should be. 

Although I stumble 
on a 'crack' 
I do not give up. 

Although a HUGE blade of 
'grass' 
gets in my way, 
I am reminded that 
my GOD is BIGGER than my 
'blade of grass' 

From egg, 
to larve, 
to pupa, 
and finally adult, 
I change... 
My personality 
My rationality 
My confidence is beyond measure. 

I change. 
I grow. 
I conquer. 

I under-go 
Metamorphosis.
