An Emotional Mind

Breaking Barriers
She shakes with fear
Yet she knew she was ready
To grow, but a small push over
Fear she wasn't alone that day

She was a creature in a cocoon
But as she grows the branches
Held tight, an anchor soon
Ready to let go, a protection that radiates

Not quite in the ready yet
For she develops this apprehension
That she's had for years due to the mistrust
However, this branch was stubborn

This is the same thick branch
Where the winds plays a soft lullaby
It's limbs are gentle are as such
Not overly protective because of its entirely

When the cocoon was made by a scared caterpillar
The branch didn't judge
Her knowledge was as welcoming as she gets slowly over
The fear of the bad and treacherous weather

The once home to an unsure step
It was unsure if she should hide
But she can't stay, its own problems are steep
Enough to where she should finally be able to confide

The worries she has she was scared to admit
Was secretly carved and gently explained
By this branch of wisdom to comment
Whether or not is to be unexpected

Now broken free with a little resistance
Because it was unsure if it'll work
But thanks to her wings, the appendage
Grows up to where she doesn't need to look back
