You                                                                                                     have
    always                                                                                          been 
      a butterfly;                                                                     waiting for         your day to                                                       break from that           cocoon. At least                                       cocoons are warm               and cozy, they                 say.         Cozy, until someone                 walks by, piercing holes,      creating a draft. Though                     it’s easier to breathe and much clearer to see.             May it be better to pierce        holes in the cocoon than            in those completed wings?        Creating more flexibility,                it is much easier to                     expand, though it                   raises the risk                          of being shattered                                        before those                                 wings have                          fully                                          matured.
