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
