How do I become a butterfly?
but hate the unknown.
How miserable is that?
I love adventures where
I know where
I’m going (McConnel Springs)
and how (walking along a lovely shaded trail),
but hate the thought of
alighting onto UK’s campus to
face a major I’m uncertain
is the one for me.
How a simple,
common,
fear keeps me grounded,
half emerged from
my cocoon, when I know
to spread my wings
may invite a
wonderful adventure.

More relatable than I care to admit. Also, I love the unique structure
If you spread those wings enough, the wind will just take you where you need to go! Whoosh! Loved the poem!
Great shape on the page that explores and pulls the reader down to the last stanza. Those first three lines could grab anyone. Nicely done.
Loved your images and purpose.
