Flit flattering in my chest
their wings pressed against my breast
throat closed up, i can't breathe
mind shuts down, I can't scream
slowly backing into corners,
trying to remember yesterdays
when little armies didn't beat
against a heart that I swore wasn't there
their energy runs through me,
wind currents uplifting me,
and I slowly nod my head yes
mouth full, almost to bursting
i let it all out, a release
a swarm of butterflies,
with a message
please,
save me
