Work Text:

Still, I hang

               from

               a

               branch

 

Yet to burst

                 from the chrysalis

                 I store not energy

                 but

                 potential

 

others are fast, I am slow

                                      late is my time

                                      to bloom

 

it takes twenty-four years

                                      I writhe                                                                 flight.

                                      but 

                                      eventually                                                    take

                                      I emerge                                                    I

                                      I spread my beautiful wings                 and

Notes:

I am pretty sure that I am a late bloomer. But that's okay.

I hope you enjoyed this!
