Reluctant Butterfly

by gansach

Each morning I emerge from
 
      the cocoon of my house,
 
ugly caterpillar donning butterfly
 
      finery to face another day;
 
to flit from place to place
 
      collecting the nectars of my life;
 
to work, to store, to bank, to school,
 
       performing the ritual dance;
 
longing only for the time when I can
 
       flutter back to my cocoon
 
and, crawling inside, become
 
        myself again~and safe.

Writing Prompt
Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression.


Life can be very sad and lonely for those dealing with social anxiety or agoraphobia (anxiety disorder causing people to fear leaving environments where they feel safe).
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
