Wavering fragile lines
alter to being resolute,
illegible scribbles and scrawls
transformed into stylized writings,
wings of fear clipped
to soar into the open skies,
meek submission develops
to an emphatic No,
the societal molds shed
to being You,
standing steadfast
against swaying temptations,
to own up responsibility
for a wrong doing,
leaving behind the comfort zone
to swim against the tide.
Filled with these strokes of courage
the canvas of life paints picture
evolving into an
aesthetic masterpiece
with a metamorphosed soul!
Beautiful

Truly beautiful words, R! It does take courage to wade into the waves, swimming away from the shore into the deeps where the unknown awaits – it’s just you and your conviction, your faith in your abilities and the determination to succeed…
