"You Still Learn After Death" - Poetry, by Lauren Egipciaco

I'm not a bird, or a plane,
nor am I Superman.
I'm a caterpillar

Trying to learn my way through life.
Going through my
struggles
with no need
to cope with what the others

Art by Stephanie Hernandez 

corrupt
their body with.

Clear minded
I am.
Or at least I think,
As I die, I go,

Ignorant.

Thinking I know
what life really holds

but then I’m
chosen to live again.

I'm not a bird, or a plane,
nor am I Superman.
I'm a butterfly.

Now I am the master of a past life.
I have gone through
struggles.
But I'm learning my way through
more.
