my name is zora

my mother told me i was a difficult one to deliver

how i kicked her

how i jumped

how i threw a child's tantrum in my moments chrysalis

 

so why is it now i falter?

why do i stand as stone in light of my future?

who have i begun to live for if not me?

where have i gone? when will i come?

 

but, as i outgrew the cocoon that wrapped me

i will outgrow this stagnancy

and if i may lose some of me in pursuit

may i gain my freedom in my rebirth
