A Naive Fool..

Dark and fearsome future,

the veil revealed to you, ahead.

Frail and stuttering venture,

into the unknown, to be led.

One step at a time,

you tossed the dime,

wishing for a wormhole,

into an alter-dimension;

But misled into a loophole,

you are at your destiny’s mansion.

You believed with a naivety.

You loved with patience. 

You lived on a loop.

You dived with hope.

You let your innocence survive,

But, they thrived on your ignorance.

How can occult optimism 

win over persistent pessimism?

Yet, you won with hands down,

because you were a level beyond saving.

And you thought you deserved this life,

you were endowed with.

The vicious cycle of pain and desperation,

leaves you in a bubble of isolation.

Because the wise, once told, metamorphosis,

takes time, patience and sacrifice.

So you believed in their prophecies

and in your idiosyncrasies.

So you crawled upside down 

and crept inside your exiled bubble 

as the despicable caterpillar,

solacing in solitude for spans,

waiting for the pretty wings to sprout anew,

So they would baptize you a beautiful butterfly.

But, you realize, who you are,

in real, at that point,

after waiting for ages,

A rudimentary worm,

incapable of transformation.

or more precisely,

a naive fool..
