The Prized Tool Within

By Maimoonah MK

I am a butterfly still stuck in my chrysalis,

He’s doing his best but am I even trying,

I know what he’s trying to do but I find it too comfortable inside,

Weakness is all that I see in me, so how could you talk about strengths which I don’t even remember I have in me,

Like a mother pushing her child out from her womb, he’s trying his best pushing me out,

But this child is carrying a big burden on her back, then how can she move pleasantly outside.

I begged him to burn the burden, the bundle too heavy for me to handle,

But he replied, “I can’t burn it my child, for you see it as a worthless bundle and I as a treasure most valuable,

Dig deep inside the bundle and find the prized tool that can break open the chrysalis,

Spread your wings and soar into the highest skies,

For there do you belong my child…….in the places unimaginable.”
