The box of hurt

Over the years I have accumulated a number of boxes

Over the years I have placed

emotions

experiences

hurts

in these boxes

Enclosing, contained, within six sides

 

Each box is packed away, with all the others

carefully placed in a room

the door is closed as I leave the box

in the room

off a corridor

I walk along the corridor past the rooms


Moving on

I manage my boxes

I manage their content

By moving along the corridor

Past closed doors

Moving on

I know what is in some boxes

 

Some boxes have been there so long

I have forgotten their content

or where I have put them

 

these are my boxes of hurt

from a long time past

I walk through it

I’ve been here before That empty endness Without purpose, without hope The plans A journey, an action and never seen again End But not now, not this time The darkness subsides, I walk The light is dim but there, I walk There are no plans for an end, I walk I look to the sky, I walk I walk, I walk And while the darkness is there, I can see it, feel it, I walk
