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
