WINGS IN THE COCOON

so she said...

your encouragement is what I seek mostly just as a mother love her children, don't remind me of things I am not good at encourage me that I may win.

I could be insecure again, I could be empty like a jar use in fetching water. like a caterpillar who broke its cocoon to unfold its wings, too afraid to take its space and be carried by the sky, that tries to get back in again.

I tried, but I felt cold even though I was cocooned in my sleeping bag. but my wings won't fit into the cocoon unless I cut them.

there's no other way but to let nature take it place. let nature touch me and tease me even the air, sun, earth, and even the rain let them feel me with everything in it. let them test my resilience. to dry, shake off, let me breath and fly again let me feel the air when am flying.

I don't need you to tell me my flaws, I don't need you to tell me what to do. I don't need you to teach me how to fly. I will teach myself it is my own experience not yours. even if I fail does not mean I can't make it I will definitely get there.

what I need from you mostly is to watch me, I need you to witness my success as I go. the fire in your eyes and your smile melt my heart and motivate me in those moment when fear crept in trying to overtake me, I need to be strong in other for me to move forward or better still take a break.

Don't come to me. Don't fix me. Don't save me. Don't hold me back. Don't stop me.

each of us has our own unique flaws. we've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. that is love watching me unfold into my most precious being.
