Unbound from doubt
fearless joy begins
Lies that paint a false view
no longer have a voice
Self-inflicted cocoons
burst against thrashing wings

I love this poem. I think I must write it out and put it by my computer whenever I’m filled with self doubt. Thank you for sharing! That phrase self-inflicted cocoons is brillant.

The phrase “self-inflicted cocoons” is what started the whole thing. It just popped into my head like a little whisper from my muse.
