!!!I
WANTED
TO BE
A BUTTERFLY!!!
I wanted to be a butterfly
To see the Earth from the sky.
At the beginning of my creation,
I was normal, really normal.
But I wanted to make a revolution,
I wanted to change into an animal.
The potion that I've drunk
Had to help me to realize big dunks.
The first physical and moral test
Proved that I was the best.
The second one which was better
Showed me real disaster.
I stopped to smoke cigar,
And I just ate sugar.
Then, some hair emerged out of my skin
Between my foot and my chin.
On my back I felt two wings.
I begun to puke some acid things.
Although I thought that my experience was a success,
In my brain, what a mess!
For me this poem is difficult
But you know the result.
I'm not a butterfly
But just a fly!
(Jérémie Charuel)
