I call this the necessary
transformation
the inevitable change
the unavoidable incident
when I lay my heart bare
and you ripped it to shreds
I gathered the pieces
weaved a chrysalis out of it
and stayed inside
till I came out as a butterfly
from the battered
caterpillar
you left me to be
–Megha
This post is in response to the daily prompt
Courage
Published by Megha's World
I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

Err… it’s just my blog name to let you all know that I believe in miracles even though I only got to read them in stories when I was younger and never faced one myself. My name’s Manidipa. It’s easy to confuse since Charisma can actually be a girl’s name.

But anyways, the pleasure’s mine.

Megha, “Metamorphosis” is a poem that embraces possibilities. It’s hopeful, we’re all capable of change, renewal and rebirth, we can remake ourselves and move forward. The intro of your poem is powerful with clever wording, I adore it, brilliant!

You’re most welcome!
Some of the changes in my life were forced, but it was to find myself again. I went from such a negative toxic time, to a more content and positive outlook.
Transoformation was required and I’m happy I didn’t fight it.

Yes, not always changes are either welcomed or accepted fully but I have learned the more you fight these changes in life they more we suffer. But that doesn;t mean giving up in any way.
