Poetry 105: Unbound My Heart

Unbound My Heart

Once tightly wrapped,

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
