Metamorphoses

Here are common questions we all ask as we go through changes in our life.

The world is changing, I can feel it.

I can see the transformation that affects me.

Sometimes I feel stronger and joyful,

Yet others I become confused,

Trapped in a foreign world.

Why do I feel this way?

I thought I would become better,

But keep the things that I want;

So then,

Why are the things that I care for the most,

Slipping through my fingers?

I have been chased into a chrysalis,

But what will I be when I come out?

Will I be one that others look up to?

Or,

Will I be a monster that has lost everything?

How do I pick up the threads that I’ve lost,

Or bind that things I cherish?

For the things that change the innocent caterpillar are strange.

Where will the metamorphoses take me?

How will I change?

Well . . . I guess,

All I can do is trust in the Lord,

For he will lead me on the right path.

So the question is,

Who will I become?

I like poems when they're in stanzas, it just sets a group to read with. . . .but above it all, i liked it! Very brilliant!

You will first notice and care more when things you like disappear or change. Those things you don't care about, you will not see them.

Nice work. I liked it.

If you don't know where you're going with your life, you can always stop, focus on the things you want most, and have faith. I think I know now what people ask when they undergo change. What a good poem.
