Steps Forward

I am like a newborn baby taking my first steps into
The wild blue yonder with my green eyes wide open
And taking it in. My once cloudless, quiet and blue

Sky is now cracking like an egg to let all the broken
Pieces come in. I have fault lines that are not linear
Or perfect. It is like my fragmented soul has woken

Up and I am alive. The words holding me prisoner
Let me breathe. They become my friends like those
On DUP. I morphed myself from a strange creature

And evolved into a dangerous mind. A singular rose
That expands and grows into a garden of butterflies.
I bravely toss myself into the fiery flames and throes.
