Tightness all around
Hard to breathe
Alone hanging down
No one can see
The changes inside me
An excruciating transformation
A phenomenal creation
Mariposa
Never stop
Mariposa
Aim for the top
Paciencia
Take your time
Esperanza
Hope's your lifeline
An old shadow of you
Will emerge from the new
Shedding what was
Revealing what is because
It cannot be hidden
Nor be denied
The being that has risen
Must take to the sky
Wait and see For What will be
A free lady Coming soon
Look to the trees Mounted with wings
Flying fearlessly Out of my cocoon
