"The CATERpillar, The Cocoon, & The ButterFLY"
  by TARRIE


The CATERpillar

Going Through "Life"
I Spend All My Time CATERing To The Needs Of Others
It's Like I'm Crawling All The Time
Without Legs
"How Will I Ever Get Ahead?"

Tired And Ready To Fly
But I CAN'T!
I Guess That Means I'm Not Ready,
Or Maybe
It's Just Not The Right Time....

Something Has GOT To Give
"LORD, Bless Me To Where I Can REALLY Live?"


The Cocoon

After Being Entangled In Webs Of Deceit
Being Beat By Bad Apples Surrounded By The Good In Trees
Stung By Bees
All Kinds Of Situations That Brought Me Down To My Knees
I Prayed For Shelter...

Now I'm Covered!

Sheltered For A Reason,
Sheltered For A Season...
To The Foolish It Would Seem
Like I've Become, "The World's BIGGEST Loser!"

But I Don't Go Where I Used To Go
I Don't Do What I Used To Do
And I Don't Have To Conform
And Change Me...From Being Me, To Me Becoming...You
Cocooned
A Full Moon Is On The Horizon
Change Is In Progress
Isolation Hurts For A Minute Though Often Necessary
And I'm Too Blessed To Be Stressed
I Must Confess...

The World Ain't Ready!


The ButterFLY

Breaking Loose, Breaking Free
It Wasn't Easy But Now I'm The Best That I Can Be
FLYing..
Soaring...
Exploring Bigger and Better Things
I Walk And No Longer Do I Crawl
Enlarging Big Egos While They Make Me Feel Small
Nope, Not At All...
Hope Sprung A Leak
Causing Me To Climax And Climb To My Peak
Weak?........Who ME?
I Don't Think So
I've Grown And You Should Have Known
That You Reap What You've Sown
Uh-Oh...
Oh No...
All You Cons Got Sweaty Foreheads 'Cause Now This ButterFLY Is Constant Like A Pro
I Used To Re-nig On My Promises
Falling For Every Trick In The Book
No Longer Being Took Or Taken For A Ride
NOW, The Only Pride I Uphold

Is For Me, And The GOD In Me
Di'Tarrie Ain't Some Sad And Lost CATERpillar
No Longer Sheltered Or Isolated
Elevated And FLYing High
The Sky Can't Even Limit Me

No Longer Is This Butterfly Effected
But I'm The Cause Of All Your Ill Affections Toward Me
My Advice To You Is...
Get Over It!

Grow Up And Get Wit' It
Before Life Passes You By
CATERpillars Were Meant To Change Into Butterflies
To Stop Crawling And FLY

Dreams Only Die
When People Are Too Busy Looking At Others
And Are Not Concerned With Putting Themselves In An Atmosphere
Where Fear Is Made Less And Faith Is Made More
Learn How To FLY Before All Doors And Windows Of Oppurtunities Are Closed Unto You
Learn How To FLY For What I'm Saying Is True
Can't Nobody Do YOU Like You...

FLY,
It's What I CHOOSE To Do!
