I learn how to take movements, 

as I step out of the cocoon,

inch by inch, grasping the leaf. 

Catching my first few breaths of air,  

I open my eyes to see the real world.

Watching the rest of the butterflies fly in the wind,

I wonder how I can be more like adults already?

I try to keep my wings off from the ground.

Looking up to my mom and dad, I see how to conquer the world,

as pollen brushes off from the flowers.

Wishing I could take action in my own world,

I know I have to follow under my parents’ wings, 

growing full body with colors, exploring on my own.

Not needing to be stuck under my parents’ wings,

I am released into reality as my parents watch me grow.
