Butterfly

I lived in a cocoon, where light was dim. 
My worth was only a wealth to others.
So much giving unmatched to little receiving.
My soul grew heavy, my heart withered.
Scathed I began to unwind. 
I landed as a pile of broken pieces.
Gathering only those posessing great strength.     

I built myself anew.
My soul now glows with blinding light.  
My worth shines as priceless.
I cannot be captured nor tamed.  
My flight is a manifestation of what nourishes my soul.
The moon lights my wings as I soar.
