I'm sorry I've not been myself
But I had to go within
I had to pad myself with my cocoon
I had to wrap myself in those layers
I had to push everything out
Until I was forced to look in.
I had to experience the binding
until I was too claustrophobic to be bound.
I had to experience the loneliness
until I realized I'm never alone.
I had to feel the weight
until the desire to be free was great enough.
I'm done. My wings are gorgeous, yet I've not yet seen their splendor.
They are still gaining strength as I push myself to be free.
They are still working their way out of the cocoon.
And it is exactly as it should be.
Thank you for waiting
For your patience and love
Your acceptance
The gestation is over.
The pain of my birth is now.
Every moment of struggle is worth
The freedom that awaits me as I finally emerge.
