"Released"

Caged emotion
Unleashed all at once.
Memories escape
Of a past kept hidden
Suddenly freed
For others to know

As the stories are shared
Of this time long ago
She feels the power within
Beginning to grow.

Through the darkness
She sees light
The binding restraints
Melt away like ice.

Her eyes are opened
Body and soul are freed
Spreading her wings
She prepares to flee.

Past wrongs laid to rest
An unknown future awaits
Down a newly found path
An yet unmarked by fate
