Metamorphosis

What is Change?

Well, what type of change?

Physically?

Mentally?

Spiritually?

Idealistically?

People might say it's all the same,

but is it really?

I mean, when you really stop and think,

what do we consider change?

The way I see it, 

it is a metamorphosis of sorts.

We are still the same person

but different.

Think of the butterfly and its metamorphosis.

The larvae goes into the cocoon, and reemerges new and beautiful.

It is the same larvae, but altered.

Humans are the same.

We shed past emotions, guilt, thoughts, ideas, beliefs, 

yet we are still the same hunk of flesh and blood. 

Those rest periods we take?

Those times when we feel depressed or groggy or sad for no reason?

That's us in our cocoons.

That is us evolving to a new version of ourselves. 

We are still the same person, 

just, 

different.

So, Change?

It is an alteration of one's own being.
