What was, and what is.....
Submissive wife
Who am I?
I gave it my all
Right down to my soul
What did it matter?
It was never enough
The day arrived
When I opened that door
Fear stared back at me
But passive I’d be no more
Like a sleeping caterpillar
Internal healing began
I stepped from that shell
Revealing a brand new me
Fragile wings waiting to dry
Spread out, what a splendid array
Each day growing stronger
Creating my own world
Fear, where are you?
Nothing can stop me
Mountains, I climb
Dragons, I now slay
Free I am,
So pleased to be me
Who am I?
I gave it my all
Right down to my soul
What did it matter?
It was never enough
The day arrived
When I opened that door
Fear stared back at me
But passive I’d be no more
Like a sleeping caterpillar
Internal healing began
I stepped from that shell
Revealing a brand new me
Fragile wings waiting to dry
Spread out, what a splendid array
Each day growing stronger
Creating my own world
Fear, where are you?
Nothing can stop me
Mountains, I climb
Dragons, I now slay
Free I am,
So pleased to be me

It is always good to see somebody rising above the apparent hand they have been dealt - I hope this poem is true life - it doesn't happen often enough :-)
excellent ink :-)

it rises & flutters in beauty
like that butterfly she became;
it's a conservative shout...
