METAMORPHOSES

You can't remain the same

person you are

in this world of change.

Either you remake yourself

like a snake sheds it's skin

or a newt drops its tail

when life so demands,

adapting,

or the world adapts you,

rips off your skin and

cuts of your tail.

Willingly or unwillingly,

the world shapes you,

and you go through transformations,

shedding skin and dropping tails,

until the final transformation

that sees you

decompose in your grave.
