as i cower in my cocoon,
i contemplate life around me.
the darkness clothes my shell
and i cannot see.
with my eyes wide open
i yearn to be set free.
when will life start over again
i always long to be
someone different, some place else
where my true colours will shine.
but the darkness of my surroundings
shows im lacking time.
i know that when im ready
people will see the real me.
but right now im frail and hidden
like a distant memory.
when you see my true self
my bright colours will make you smile.
my wings will wrap around you
and youll be swept away with time
to a place whre i belong
where nobody can hurt me.
my cocoon will be forgotten
like a distant memory.

Beautiful poetry, but that ending...
WOW. Heartfelt.
