When you name your fear, put a face on it, you don't allow it to sneak up on you...

The unknown fate of the caterpillar Will it be butterfly or moth Beauty or disgust The caterpillar doesn't know While it spins is cocoon And begins it's compulsory service Waiting and waiting To see what it becomes At last the moment... My bitterness emerges

Love how you write, Ludden! "butterfly or moth, beauty or disgust" and the first line hit quite hard for me too. Best wishes, Hiba <3
