Metamorphosis
Folder:
Personal- Hopeful I placed myself in
a cocoon to protect me
from nature’s hostility;
it kept me confined
to bitterness and anger.
My body was covered
with hair-like setae
meant to sting my foes,
but also those who
reached out in love.
I became unraveled,
letting in the people I once
shut out and left myself
open to pain knowing it
would only strengthen me.
I also realized that coming
out of my shell was
the only way to spread
my wings and soar
above my past troubles.
