Pinned

My voice has been captured
Pinned like a butterfly in a shadowbox
Stored away for safe keeping
Some think it soothing and melodic
Which amuses me since I find it awkward
Muted by fear of judgment and indifference
But no more
I have removed the glass and pins
And though it trembles
It is free
Free to become stronger
To spread its wings and venture into other gardens
Fragile and imperfect
Brave and determined
Flitting from ear to ear
Pollinating minds with my perspectives
Flying joyously free on the wind
