Eva Stone
I was once trapped on the ground
Beliefs forced onto my head
And the pressure keeping me down

That type of life limits your view
All you know is what is inches in front of you
Imagine only seeing a single blade of grass
When if you just looked around you would see a meadow
With flowers and the open sky waiting to welcome you
There is a whole world out there
There are those from all walks of life
That creates a beautiful existence

But because you are afraid of the unknown here you stay
Staring at that one blade of grass
With that one way of thinking

Not realizing how it shackles you from your full potential
That was how I lived
That was my entire existence
My entire purpose
A single blade of grass
I remember getting so mad

When people told me how there is a whole world out there
They told me how the grass was technically a weed
And how if I looked up I would see a vast sky
They told me that I could be happy in a place so big
Even if those before me in my bloodline said the opposite
And willingly chose the shackles that held them down

Over time I let my anger go

And let them help me open my eyes
This is the stage of transformations

This is the stage where I learn how to be free
So once I am free I know how to be me
I have made my cocoon
So I can start healing

The bruises on my wrists
And adjust to the new lighting
1 have chopped off my hair
And embraced my skin

That is the story behind the butterfly on my arm
It is a reminder of all the work I had to do
And what I can eventually become

One day I will break out
Fully changed by potential
Shackles falling to the ground
As I spread my wings and fly

For the very first time
This is my metamorphosis
