From me to ME

My Poem

Why was it that I was first a butterfly
Socially and lingually adept
Dancing running soaring through life
Free and easily mingling
Choices all open
All mine
which one shall I have?
Where should i go next
Then
A cruel twist
A pupa around me
Reversed after the freedom
Mummified and crushed
My wings have disintegrated
My freedom is no more
I can hardly move
My clumsy body
Restricted and frustrated
A catterpillar from a Butterfly
A horrendous twist of fate
Crawling
Grounded
Nothing in sight
Cumbersome and failing
This is what I have become
ME
