The Caterpillar
This world is so little, but I am so small
I had to crawl to move at the Shopping Mall
Clothes are always too big for me
I am a pest for everybody
In the streets people scream "Maggot"!
Sorry this is all that I got
In case you have forgot, I didn't asked to be this
I'm not a black widow neither a cannibal mantis
You can call me a parasite
It's not like I'm yearning for you to visit
I'm not a worm asking to be torn
You cannot break me because I have no bone
Talk about sizes, let's compare the caterpillar and Alice
There is no crisis inside my chrysalis
One day I will fly over this ruthless place
I'm not another Icarus who wants a solar solace
Your eyes would be stuck on my wings
You can spit at the larva but the imaggot stings
