Boxes<\/h1>\n

by S Wallace<\/p>\n

She lives her life
\nIn boxes
\nInaccessible compartments
\nWithholding from herself
\nOld experiences
\nNew ventures
\nBoxed up
\nBoxes shrink her world
\nShe does not have the will
\nTo unpack
\nTo divest
\nTo invest
\nShe stares at the boxes
\nAfraid to look within
\nAfraid of what she may find
\nThe boxes fill
\nAs she empties<\/p>\n
