CocoonA Poem by Shadin ManningCompress and suppress My sweet innocence Making me to conform, into this conventional, tradition world Subside all of the things that made me a beautiful butterfly Flying so gleeful, flying so graceful Put me back in my cocoon Reverse me back into that weak caterpillar, you once knew Deprive me of all the freedoms the universe has given me I see you smiling so wide So proud of me So pretentious of this caterpillar you created The caterpillar that keeps dreaming of freedom again His attempts to escape were only in vain. © 2012 Shadin Manning |
