The Bright Green Caterpillar and the Flock of Butterflies
Description
a bright green caterpillar
and a flock of beautiful butterflies
love
is a flock of butterflies in your stomach
lifting you up so that you fly away into the sky
but kim minseok has yet to come out of her cocoon
maybe one day she will be a butterfly, too
kim minseok
"it was too late by the time she started noticing the empty seats at her lunch table and a summer passed without any human interaction."
"she doesn't remember much before 16. strike that, she doesn't remember anything. but it doesn't bother her, because she's ceased to care."

Foreword
metamorphosis
what is my dream?
what would i do if i ruled the world?
i want big houses, limousines, money?
i want love, fame, a family?
no
i just want to be safe
steady, strong
no risk involved
my eyes have adjusted to this world that others deem grey and colorless
my heart has adjusted to this life that others deem pathetic and meaningless
the bright sunlight outside frightens me
scorches me
blinds me
caterpillars become beautiful butterflies after metamorphosis
but what if they just don't come out?
butterflies can get eaten, killed
falling to the ground no matter how high they are with a simple snap of broken wings
broken dreams
i am content in my cocoon
i just want to be safe
the bright sunlight outside is too far away for me
