This is a poem I recently wrote about societies expectations. It often feels like we are expected to come into this world as a butterfly and have everything together and know what we want to be and what we want to do. It feels like caterpillars can be discarded as less important than butterflies because they aren’t as beautiful and haven’t evolved into the person they want to be. I am here to argue that the caterpillar is one of the most special and fascinating creatures. They do the growing, the learning, the preparation needed to be done in order to sore. They are strong and build their own environment, hatch their own plan, in order to take to the sky. The butterfly would not exist without the caterpillar and success would not exist without failure.
If you fail at things that means you are trying, you’re getting on that start line, and that’s truly the bravest thing any one can do🌷
