Boxes

by S Wallace

She lives her life
In boxes
Inaccessible compartments
Withholding from herself
Old experiences
New ventures
Boxed up
Boxes shrink her world
She does not have the will
To unpack
To divest
To invest
She stares at the boxes
Afraid to look within
Afraid of what she may find
The boxes fill
As she empties
