Poems of my Mind

Chrysalis:

I wanna be a cocoon;

Hidden from the world,

Waiting for my time

To fly free

I wanna be a cocoon;

I wanna be always alone

And in comfort

And warmth

I wanna be a cocoon;

While the rest of the world

Looks on in wonder

And anticipation

I wanna be a cocoon;

Beauty inside matters more

Than the papery leaf

In which I sit.

I wanna be a cocoon;

My words muffled,

My life quiet,

Myself to myself.

I wanna be a cocoon;

No one to decide

My fate,

Or judge me.

I wanna be a cocoon

So one day

I can say,

I became a butterfly.
