metamorphosis by Lazlo Taboli

development is hardly accurate for what has happened to me
no, it’s more of a transformation
and there is still something in me that needs to be transformed
there is a lot to be built up, added or eliminated
maybe it’s an eternal metamorphosis
in some cases you have to congratulate those who have realized
that’s what happened to me
I hope that my transformation creates a bond of trust with you
maybe it could be a friendship without fear
without worrying about whether it was personally beneficial
many would die for such a friendship
there is a daily change that lives inside me
can you feel it?
the metamorphosis is becoming friends with yourself
