Lately, I've felt like a caterpillar in a cocoon
Wrapped up tightly
Oppressed
Unable to let my true self show
Soon, I will leave this place
Leave the bitterness and anger behind
I will unfold my wings and emerge
Soaring unfettered into the endless sky
Free of the people holding me back
Free of the loneliness and hurt
Free to be myself.
