A Butterfly's Dream - Fly High
Few closed doors
Reaffirms, never defy
My hunger to excel
In cocoon, yearning to be a butterfly
Half-baked wings
Fluttering with hope
I may fail, fail again
Only endeavor is to stay afloat
Nothing can weigh me down
Far away from maddening hullabaloo
Nearing my goal
Taking a step or two
Setbacks on the path
Will arouse my thirst
I'll rise from ashes
I've witnessed worst
Success - will not quench my hunger
It will only multiply
I just learned to flutter
I will fly high
Yearings of a butterfly to fly higher is well captured.

Fly you must, for every bird has its destiny, not to be chained by thoughts, but to chase them in open skies and catch their lovely prey.
