bursting the bubble

it is safe inside
my warm cozy bubble
but the need to have
a bigger existence
forces me into the
unknown
I push
push the barrier
it stretches
it expands
my pushing becomes
more forceful
I ache for freedom
from my stifling cocoon
I tear
tear at the wall
it rips
it shreds
I reach my hand
out into the unknown
I extend as far as I can
into the nothingness
fear creeps in
it would be safer to stay
I swallow my doubt
and launch myself
heart
soul
over the edge
into the world
beyond the bubble
my future begins
