Metamorphosis



In order for me to become who I’m supposed to be I had to reach
deep down inside & give myself CPR!!!
I was submerged in death
I was locked away in my cocoon,
I could no longer stand the confinement of the one thing that had
once given me life is now the thing that is taking my life.
I have outgrown my cocoon and now it’s time for my
 METAMORPHOSIS.

BREATHE,  LIVE,  FIGHT,  STAND,  FLY…

Now I stand before you vulnerable, afraid and even scared
but with the courage to move on and be me, as beautiful as a
butterfly,
look at all the wonderful arrangements of colors and textures.

Now it’s amazing if you truly look at all the
BEAUTY,  GRACE & WISDOM
that lies before your eyes.

My METAMORPHOSIS
is complete but my miracle of becoming a butterfly
was just as bitter as it was sweet.

About this poem

I believe people can live their dreams. Your quality of life is in your hands, so I decided to pursue the artistic passion of poetry telling my journey. This opportunity is invaluable to me. I'm going to finish writing my first book and continue my journey with my poetry. Poetry gives me self-love, self-accomplishments to be able to share my innermost feelings in such an inspiring way which allowed me to mature with life. The inspiration behind "Metamorphosis" is letting go of dead life, also embracing self and new life. Don't be afraid of change, it's life-altering.

(About The Author) As natural as a metamorphosis is to a caterpillar, that’s what poetry is to life. Poetry is a manifestation of the natural peregrination in someone’s life. With the captivating appeal of the many textures and variations of poems you get to walk a journey that takes you from where you are to where you would love to be. (Achievements) In 2011 “Metamorphosis” Ahnama's poem was internationally published shortly after her poem “Lost” won an honorable mention, in 2012. In 2022 Ahnama's poem “State Of Suspension #1973#” won a semifinalist position in a nationally published poetry contest and book. She is also in the running for a Pushcart Prize Nomination, and is currently in the process of writing her debut poem anthology book "The Metamorphosis of a Lyricist" (Chitter Chatter while Sipping Tea) Ahnama knew she loved writing but the excitement of writing to her is as natural as it is to breathe, realizing how embedded it is in her life. Ahnama adores the feeling of poetry in its rawest flows to the most uniformed forms. As she was growing as a writer, it wasn’t satisfying enough. Ahnama had to not only visualize, but to hear it. This is her as a spoken word artist come to life. Using her voice to take you on the journey, taking her words from sight to sound."The natural ombré merging into new phases of her artistry as a writer, She's so beautifully found her variety of voices as a new lyricist and narrator, she will continue her pandoras box of lyrics a new but sweet addition."From pen to sound". more…
