What a powerful piece. With no notes it leaves the reader to wonder, to think. It is deeply personal and speaks of many controlling relationships. Human resilience and passion is everywhere in this piece. I liked the cadence of how it moved across the page. Once of the best I have read all week. Nice job. Still, I am left to wonder what was the inspiration for this piece?

Comment from Melspoems
This is great, I think you describe well the thoughts of someone who has been trapped in an abusive relationship but is now feeling the strength the break free.
Great use of metaphor.
Love the strength of the butterfly.

this is kind of scary. nice twist at the ending. actually the last stanza is my favorite. you can still work on the flow of your poem thought. but still a good read.

This is a great free verse. You described so well how this guy put you off. Loved it being a butterfly in a box. To have light you punched holes.

Comment from THE FREAK
Solitary confinement is every poets and free willed person worst nightmare. For we wage war against mediocrity and stubbornness, fighting to become free, whatever our vision of freedom is.
Keep fighting on Poetic soldier...
Great read from a great lady
All the best

Very good poem, V.
I liked a lot of lines in here. It's angry and vindictive, but in a nice way. LOL
This was the best line, and appropriately placed...
>>> Careful
when
you
next
open
my
box <<<
Good job with this.

Hello again Sharyn
In a way I feel this is kinda like Pandora's box, it can lead to a whole lot of trouble. I like the light idea. We truly can grow

it can indeed, if not used with restrained power & strength Bear! I'm with you on that one my dear - revenge for revenge's sake would be perpetrating the same ill, yes?
Comment from Cool Beans
I like the tonality of the poem. I also like how an innocent butterfly, unassuming, is about to flip it and the prey is about to become the predator. You create strength in an otherwise feeble creature. It definitely gives the audience a picture of what the power of self worth can do. Good job.

Comment from EMB
This is a great poem, and as I read it, I was saying, "Good for you, my friend! Good for you!" This speaks of never settling for less than what you know your deserve from someone. I loved the mention of the sorry movies. Excellent.

This looks like a story of a new awakening... the story of someone who is ready to fly alone and to take on the world. I love your red-and-white presentation... works well. Giddy
