They’ve Been There
✨
At times, we must turn our back on the world, not because we’ve given up,
but because the world needs to see the intricate pattern and growth of the wings on our backs.
We’re certainly not angels,
but there are wings that we have,
you just have to gaze a little harder in order to see them.
It’s not showing off,
it’s simply proving the power and humility in our transparency.
All along, the wings…
they’ve been there.

Stunning work!!!!
Very nice, love the imagery , J 😁
Whoa, this is so beautifully written! It’s like you’ve captured the idea of quiet strength and transformation in the most poetic way. Seriously, the whole "wings on our backs" thing? Pure magic! ❤
This is a beautiful reflection on growth and resilience—sometimes stepping back allows us to reveal our true strength. The imagery of hidden wings is so powerful.✨
