They shut me up in Prose

They shut me up in Prose —
As when a little Girl
They put me in the Closet—
Because they liked me "still" —

Still! Could themself have peeped —
And seen my Brain—go round —
They might as wise have lodged a Bird
For Treason—in the Pound—

Himself has but to will
And easy as a Star
Abolish his Captivity—
And laugh—No more have I —

Poem by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson poems

This was a Poet - It is That
This is My Letter to the World
This Quiet Dust was Gentlemen and Ladies
