Clipped
By Butterfly Thomas
I see her
Unaware and unknowing
Of the world around her
Freedom denied to her
Shelter deprives her
Loving arms restrict her
Seclude her
Convince her
It isn’t safe
Fear binds her
Devotion roots her
Illusion distracts her
Lies hide her
From sight
A bird without flight
Peace,
Butterfly
