Butterfly Relations

How I am like a butterfly. Just a wee bit strange.

The butterfly starts as a caterpillar.
Eats all it can to grow.
I am like the caterpillar
in more ways than one.

The caterpillar forms the cocoon
to change or to be anti-social.
I am the cocoon
but nobody knows it yet.

The last stage, as it emerges,
is the butterfly of beauty.
I will be like the butterfly
in just a few years time.
