A Poem by Amanda Nowlin

Doubt is a chrysalis

Dark as a tomb

Bound by a shell

Can't breath, can't move 

But something is happening

As the walls press in tight

And enzymes attack all 

She once thought right

Breaking down what she was

Building something unseen

Until the light cracks it open 

And Faith spreads her wings
