The Cocoon

Wrapped up in a little cocoon. In here with my fear. Time needs to go by and then I can emerge. The gray and the white silk enveloping me in a stifling way and I'm told to "wait". "Wait" and see what happens, wait until everything's ready. Don't try to jump out early because then you won't fly... your wings will be broken. So... I'll stay in here and wait. Struggling to mature as fast as I can but nature will only move as quickly as it's willing. And so will God. He will only move as quickly as necessary. And he'll tell me "Wait". Just keep working and growing stronger, each passing day is an oppurtunity to do so. Start doing the things you've always wanted to and know that "you are enough". Nuture those parts of you that need to be nurtured, the parts no one else can get to. Just live in this place for a little longer, a little longer and when it's time light will break through and you'll be able to shed the shell you're hiding in. It's just not time yet, it's simply not time. Through experiencing a lack of freedom, you will know freedom when you taste it. Then and only then will you be ready to set sail.
