UGLY DUCKLING

THE SWAN DIGITAL PAINTING CHRYSSA V.2014

There was no script

There was no theater group

You came before me randomly

Maybe the Great Gardener

took care about it of course

(I'm quite angry with Him in fact

He shouldn't realize such experiments

without a basic plan ...)

You were a male mama duck

I-at least I thought so-an ugly duckling

that my egg had hatched

beneath your wings

It was natural for me to think 

you were my mother

and you thought I was your baby duck

without doubt

My real mom 

never knew even my existence

Maybe sometimes she saw me among 

other little ducks in the lake and said:

"How strange! This sinful little devil

is so alike to my own excellent offspring! "...

But how to recognize me since

she never saw me being born?

You saw me, you loved me,

but I was not one of your people for sure ...

So I just walked away,

in weeping and aching of course,

and with the incurable stab of an 

ugly duckling on my back forever...

Look at me now though!

Look! I evolved in a wonderful swan!

I swim alone but so proud

in the lake of my visions

together with

my beautiful reflection 

in transparent waters ...

Now I'm more than ready

to experience the grandeur

within me

and so let you gaze at me in awe

flying with my large gleaming white wings wide open ...

No, let's not cry anymore! Just let it go ...
