they see the epitome of their final selves in you because you are one who kept going despite the claws of the earth trying to whisk you away into the abyss so you can forget who you really are.
you wrapped yourself like a cocoon, but get out of it because that is what caterpillars were made to do.
this is not about becoming prettier.
this is about finally loving yourself despite any scars you have came across along the way, because true happiness comes from someone who did not give up walking the tightrope above the alligator ponds; someone who did not give up despite how much they were knocked down each night.
and well... if you decide to hold them close, you can just barely hear the whispers of encouragement spilling past their lips, as quiet as the chilled autumn air.
"keep going..."
