The Girl in the Box

By Valerie Webster

The Girl in the Box (But Occasionally I Escape!) is my second book of poetry. It's written with all the emotions that the human spirit can possibly feel! At times, it will make you laugh; other times, you'll cry! Then, perhaps just ponder life's situations and how they apply to all of us! It is captivating, a true page-turner. Aside from that, it was a journey into my soul, which I penned to paper. A true undertaking of who I am. I hope my readers enjoy!

Uncharted as this journey is,

my passion drives me forward.

Just a voice wanting to be heard.

I know all the steps.

Sad but true.

Yet I persevere.

I’ve played this stage for a long time.

I know when it’s curtain call!

I will be your loving wife,

a long worn-out path.

But yet I travel.

My choice, I
