    That is sure going in to my favorites. Willam, I'm still clutching at my words that you are an awesome writer. I'm looking forward to read more poems from you, more such deep, deep poems.

    In the first line, it's should be.. its

    and

    "How many times did you fruitlessly bang
    You head against the window?"

    --> your head.. instead of ... you head

    ----

    At first, I didn't know where you were heading. But when I reached the part of comparing yourself to that butterfly from different aspects, I had my jaw dropping.

    It's such a deep piece, and very creative. maybe thoughts provoking, too.

    Amazin!

    I loved the comparisons you have made in this verse and the questions you ask. From it's time in the cocoon to becoming a caterpillar and finally a butterfly is indeed a battle but...I also see it as an achievement.

    Was it Starvation or the feel of defeat
    That killed you
    ^^^
    I think it should be feeling? If so, you use it again in the next stanza so...maybe read it over again to see what you think?

    I really enjoyed this one from you...well done!
