Butterfly wings

Those incredibly beautiful sensitive butterfly wings of your genius soul that need space and gentleness to unfurl.
The slightest touch of an obstacle causes them to snap shut instantly. Even when the obstacle is imaginary.
It is an acquired fear: crashing into obstacles hurts and could destroy. Sometimes we choose to remain unfurled: better safe than sorry, we say. But it is not better. It is suffocating.
How then to strengthen them? So that they can smoothly push away the obstacles and make space for their immense span of beauty. 
I can embrace the world within my wingspan. I know it. Now to do it! :)
