Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

Guss

Registrant
Tiny egg, caterpillar born.
Fragile, helpless being.
Fuzzy, funny, innocent.

Rain pounds.
Winds blow.
Storms toss.
Monsters thump, grab and throw.
Hiding. Existing, found and abused.
Building a cocoon.

Alone.
Can't be reached.
Bulging weight of memories.
Torment, numbness, an empty ache.
Nothing.

Time passes.
Too hard alone.
Long to live.
Struggle to leave.

Worn out. Not moving. Life awakens.
Fighting, forcing, giving it all!
Slowly, widening, opening gives.
Memory weight forced into wings.

Moved, flexed, tested.
Flying!
Soaring!
Tricks, here and there.
Beauty found, beyond compare.

Freedom born!
 
Chrysalis, a wonderful development. Well written.
 
I hope you fight for yourself. Heal, and learn to fly.
CarbonTiger, it was a long journey getting there but it's been worth it.

...I'm done fighting [gravity] Guss. Not all of us are made for long journey's so it seems.

I wish I could feel it another way. [However] I am happy for you my good friend.

I quit fighting, and rested for decades. Then, I took up the fight again. I fought some, rested a lot. Fought some more. Rested more.
