Are you living in a silk prison.
Fragile wings never allowed to spread.
All attempts to break away and fly,
Lost within another layer of silk.
Protection from the elements,
Or delicately woven prison walls?
A life divided never to be free,
To experience a breath of air.
A silk prison protecting metamorphosis,
The natural evolution to adulthood.
But you are safe within this cocoon.
Freedom from risk is emphasized.
We spin our own silk.
