The journey of self love

She was like the caterpillar
a silent warrior
fighting her way through her cocoon
a battle she must win
as she alone must walk on this path of self love
she alone must fight for the change that will define her very existence
she alone must become the butterfly that she was meant to be

It doesn't apply to everyone.
I should know, i'm not everyone.
Battles are for losers, as Mr Hitler and his like confirm.
Pathetic monsters.

Do it without words
and with a smile
and everyone's happy
running this mile
that'll all be over in a minute
or three
and you'll know not
what there's to be.

caio.

Gunnar.
