description: Metamorphosis.
  
  An exquisite transformation.
  
  A necessary mechanism of evolution whereby the change is not onlyin appearance, but also behavior. My transformation possessed no beauty. Onlypain. But just as the caterpillar morphs to a butterfly my strength is refinedin the struggle, my flaws cocooned in the dark. If I survive the alteration myreward is to drink nectar and float on the breeze. Where I was once vulnerable,I will rise above.
  
  The same, but different.
  
  My name is Paige.
  
  I'm spreading my wings.
