Chrysalis

So too it has happened to me

I have finally emerged

It has taken many years

Much punishment

Much tiresome effort, many failures

Ugly truths, beautiful lies

Scorched and earth-bound

Failure to thrive, to be alive, to contrive

To spin the golden web around me tightly

To bind the dreams to the dryad,

The prayers to the penitent

Resistance, strength, knowledge,

Belief in self-

I have done it!

Keep that net away from me!

I fly free.
