You Think Me Weak Because I Broke

Oct 7

You think me weak
Because I broke

Through eyes of pity
And distain

But I think I’m strong
Because I changed

Cracking from the shell
Of who I used to be

Hollow
Empty

Reaching for the sky
Because I cannot feel its warmth
In confinement

A bird is not weak
After hatching from it’s egg

A butterfly is not weak
After emerging from it’s cocoon

For those who are prone to fly
Must first
Break free

You think me weak
Because I broke
But I know you’re weak
Because you haven’t
