The Caterpillar

I am the American cliche.
I'm 19, overweight, under-achieving and over-intelligent. I spend my days worrying over things I cannot control and live with my parents. I am jobless and have a large ego. I am a struggling artist with no will to struggle. I laugh at things people aren't supposed to laugh about, and stay quiet when I see things most find funny. I constantly argue with people, and have few friends.
In short, I'm you.

And I hate that more than you know.

I want to be me.

And so, I'm going to become me.

I'm a fat, greasy caterpillar, and this is my chrysallis. Are you brave enough to join me as I undergo the transformation to come?


I hope you are. Because I'm not sure if I am.
