Hidden

I need a cocoon.
To habitate.
To investigate.
To hibernate.
To initiate.
My change.

I want to rearrange
My insides.
To arrive
At a new sense
Of what it means to be me.

To be...free?

To slide and dodge and hodge-podge and take pride

In being alone.

No one else home.
Get away! I say.

I want to be with me and to see
Who I am, what I can do
WITHOUT YOU.

So go. Leave.
So I can do what I please.
With me - just let me be.

In peace.
To emerge
So soon, from my cocoon
As a butterfly
To better fly me
Away from here.
