my heart
is beginning to see light.
Slowly at first,
scared to death.
Was it like a mummy
or a muzzle?
Seems cruel to me now,
though I know
it was for self-protection.
Or was it?
They say my heart is wide enough
to hold the whole world-
could that possibly be true?
Skeptically,
cautiously,
I remove one bandage at a time.
Both terrified and excited
for a life in the wide open space
of unrestricted
freedom.
-Me
-Me
