Boxes

img_0.9004673206610421.jpg

Boxes are where we stay
Boxes are where we hide
Boxes
All the boxes
Never checked
Never emptied
Accumulating all the moments
And locking away our real thoughts.

Tiny boxes
Compartments where we keep our souls
And put a lid on the way we want things
Is it a lie?
Or is it just safe
To keep our boxes sealed
And never open them
For fear of letting something out
That could be damaged
Or broken out in the air?

Beautiful poem... Sometimes it's true, we can break ourselves into pieces and put ourselves in boxes for safety, to fit in spaces maybe, for fear that if we are complete or whole, the world will reject our authenticity, and so we deprive ourselves completeness by boxing ourselves as pieces. As you said, "tiny boxes... compartments where we keep our souls". I was haunted by this piece. I felt connected to it and I loved every bit of it.
