i am evolving
changing
the ones that make me - me
i am hers
i am theirs
i am both
i am that butterfly
the one who as a caterpillar thought the world was over
who spent two years beating against the dark walls of her cocoon
feeling the pain leave its impressions on her skin
one day a crack appeared in my shell
allowing a small ray of hope to pour through
and i realized that i just might survive
i am changed
different
learning to fly
i am spreading my wings
admiring my colors
noting the spots and designs that loving her left
the ones that make me - me
i am evolving
and it feels good
Beautiful!

Moving forward feels a lot better than standing still. Holding Peyton close. Changing doesn't mean letting her go, its' just a new way of holding her.xx
What a stunning poem of grieving and healing. Love the imagery and metaphor!

Butterflies are beautiful...and all that go through to become their beautiful self is so humbling.
