Scared like a caterpillar
Slow, young, and unlearned.
Waiting, waiting,
Until I can change
Into something great,
Wise and brave.
For a long time I watch, listen, and learn.
For a long time I tried to live the life I was given,
But something comes to take it away.
Have I not been patient?
Have I not been patient?

On summer’s wake,
I changed into something grand.
