Vibrant pinks and baby blues.

All have colors, but only some true.

Big doe eyes or razor sharp teeth.

One can be vile while the other is sweet.

Brown spots on wings to ward off intruders.

A facade of indifference to scare potential suitors.

Caterpillars form pupas to protect their change.

While humans set boundaries to do the same.

Wings of all sizes emerge from their havens.

People decide the parts of them worth saving.

They unfurl and show their new wings to all.

Progress should be celebrated no matter how small.

Insect or mammal, no matter the being.

Everything is different and time is fleeting.

Patterns can deceive and humans can lie.

But the truth lies within, and never shall die.
