Packages Her words cut the paper That wrapped itself around Our neat little package Painted with dreams and Star-studded fantasies.
Her words tugged at the heart She had tied with beautiful String and silver ribbon
So bright that all could See
its
lustery shine.
Her words broke through The package and string
And ribbon and stars and Dreams of what One day would surely be. "I
Want Out," she
said.
