Metamorphosis

They said to her,
though a child she was,
Why were you ever born!
She looked at them,
but could not speak,
so she began to crawl.

They said to her,
though a child she was,
Nothing you do is right!
She looked at them,
but could not speak,
so she began to run.

They said to her,
though a child she was,
We wish that you would die!
She looked at them,
but did not speak,
and instead began to fly.
