***The prompt was write a poem that reveals bits and peices of yourself. Much like a autobiography. I hope I reavled a little bit more about myself and met the challenge....

I am like a dove flying in the wind.

No, not really a bird,

But technically, I am a mammal.

I care and love a lot like a carebear,

But I am like a caveman, only I am a woman.

I am stuck in a cave by a powerful force.

It can be dangerous, but deep inside the cave I have a secret weapon to break me free.

For I am slowly turning into a regular human being.

I am just finally learning I can step out of the cage.

Who knew facing your fears could be this scary like facing an addiction?

Good thing I have my secret weapon,

MY HEART.

An excellent way to meet the challenge. I'm rather partial to your last two lines.

Thank you for taking the SatWE challenge and I'm pleased to feature it on Gather Writing Essential.
