Cocoon

 I wrap a cocoon around myself for protection.

A cocoon usually symbolizes change. 

Without mistake , change is my stated propose .

I mean to change the fact that I let others decide what kind of person I am.

My quality doesn’t depend on whether or not I would help those that would ask for that help just because of their need and shared circumstance.

Those I do help will not be out of some imposed obligation but love.

I no longer accept another’s definition of what love is or to whom I should apply it to.

I will love , or not, without guilt because if guilt is in the reasoning for my action it can’t be love.

A cold pill to swallow and serve but if my offering is born of guilt then there is no love for whomever I may offer help to.

Questions of right and wrong will no doubt linger , my burden to bare. 

I need to be honest with myself. It’s not the fault of the snake that bites you, because that is what a snake does, the fault lies with the fact that I tread where snakes lie.

Watch where you step.
