Chrysalis

Worn and scathed from attack all around,

the spotted caterpillar finds his new home.

Timing so perfect from life’s harsh ways,

our triumphant crawler begins his new days.

A beautiful chrysalis within which he will thrive,

calm and secure from threats near and far.

Months of solace in great transformation,

reborn, he will rise from past degradation.

@EvelynDawn I wrote this poem as an analogy to my long-time bout with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. These last two months have been the opening stages of real, refreshed transformation after years of therapy and medications.
