Stength

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
