you may think that if you are featherless, you are worthless.

that is not true.

you may be in denial,

that your feathers have been plucked by society.

you may feel like they did you a favor, 

and what small feathers try to grow,

you pluck them back out and cut them off.

give your feathers a chance to grow.

sometimes you need a little push,

a little reassurance from somebody

to love yourself and your feathers,

and to give them their full potential.

and once they have grown,

sometimes you need a little push,

to jump out of the warm, reassuring nest

into the society which plucked them in the first place.

but believe me,

if you believe in yourself, 

you will be able to fly again

even if now it seems like you've only just crashed.
