She set her self free


 She kept her words
bottled up
like the butterfly
in the glass jar
with the lid
gripping the mouth
so tight
 nothing could
get in or out
not a whisper 
or a drop
 of air.

Until one day
she took a breath
so deep
 it found
its way
into her heart
where she discovered
the words
to set her self free.
