Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

The Transmogrification From One Annoying Bug To Another Less Irritating Bug

I once thought myself to be
A maggot writhing around in
The garbage, in search of meaning
Until I emerged a fly, able to
Speed away from disgrace and danger.

When I came upon a mirror, I saw
That I was no fly, but a majestic
Butterfly; that I had never been
A maggot in the trash, but a
Caterpillar in the garden,
Waiting to morph.

It's always worth a second glance.
