Invisible cage

This protective shell,
like a glass bubble,
is her invisible cage.
The perfect place
to hide yet be visible,
to the world around.

It protects her and
others from herself.
All her secrets are
free inside the bubble,
but kept safe from the
rest of the world.

The secrets are all
coming back to life,
becoming their own
beings, having their
own lives, breathing,
talking growing.

Trapped by her own
creation, by pride,
and by shame.
She needs to escape
if only to breathe,
to let go for a minute.
