Living, Loving, Learning
And being who everyone else
Wants me to be
Doing what everyone else
Expects me to do
It’s like being crammed into a chrysalis
I have felt a calming breeze
Coming from an opening?
Wanting more, wanting to stretch,
Open up and flap wings.
Eagerly anticipating,
When this chrysalis will burst apart.
When I can spread my wings
And await my first flight
In hopes and dreams of many more
That finds the freedom
I’ve been looking for.
