Realizing you're not as great

nor as smart

beautiful

lovely

delicate

as you once thought.

A Metamorphosis.

Changing

blooming, bleeding, breaking

realizing that

you are nowhere near

how strong

courageous

loving

passionate

you could really be. 

This is the change.

Embrace it. Work for it. Chase it.

Never let the fear and pain 

and angst and uncertainty

pull you down under.

Show them what you are made of

Show them that you can and will, do better

Show them that falling only means

you'll be flying.
