I am exhausted
From trying to grow;
Twisting like a
Leaf in the wind.
I blow back and forth,
As I struggle to begin
To escape the pain
I’ve lived in, within.
I’m shedding the cocoon,
That has confined
Me for a while.
It has kept me inside
By being in denial,
Of the strength
I am hiding,
Because of fear’s smile.
I’m pulling,
And twisting,
Myself out,
Even when filled
With self-doubt.
I am having fun,
Sitting and stretching,
In the hot sun.
Because, I am trying,
With all my might
To lift my wings
And not lose sight,
It takes real courage
To learn to fly,
Wheel, and soar
In a sun-lit sky.
