Metamorphosis
by Madeline PestolesiLove to hate.
Hate to anger.
Anger to sadness.
Sadness to depression.
Depression to blackness.
Blackness to thoughts of death.
Thoughts of death to rebound fling.
Rebound fling to next fling.
Next fling to self-esteem.
Self-esteem to confidence.
Confidence to optimism.
Optimism to happiness.
Happiness to joy.
Joy to alone.
Alone to self-security.
Self-security to composure.
Composure to clarity.
Clarity to vision.
Vision to see.
Everything.
