Box
When a girl is born
She is given a box
Labeled
“Fit in here
Do not
overflow”

She carries
This box
Everywhere
She goes.

She grows
And
Grows.
Until her
Box can
Hold no
More.

When a girl
Becomes
A woman.
She realizes
Her box’s
True use.

A woman
Does
Just
As butterflies
Do.

All she needed
Was a
Little
Space to
Bloom.
