I made myself a cocoon. Watched it grow and form with the new moon. It fostered my storms, but part of me, and of not, It wasn’t what I fully sought. Carving into my own flesh and bones. Desperately trying to find home. This skin… The feeling within… The walls I had built to protect this soft body, proved to be nothing more than a foolish hobby. An entire universe is forming, and the childish ways I am unlearning. Transforming... Transforming... Transforming... No need for mourning. Shattering to pieces, my cocoon collapsed...and fighting the urge to relapse, I flew and flew until there was nothing more to do. I found my way and became the day.
