Born protected
Forbidden from childplay
Trained to behave.
Moulded - pushed and shoved.
I broke free from my caste
Like a beautiful butterfly from a caccoon
Brilliant and free
But so delicate
Beauty free!
Admired and bloated with bliss.
Lessons were learned-
As I threw myself willingly into the elements
Suddenly battered and tired-
I realised now
My bonds had been there to anchor and enamour Me
Not to protect the world from my wild and wreckless Soul
I\'m ready now,
Ready to balance and right myself in any turbulance ahead-
Ready to be shocked and afraid
I was born prepared
Resiliant, I will rise!
Never again to crouch fearful-
My journey begins now
