Packaged Away

Pushed aside and not being able to express yourself.

Packed together closely,

No room to breathe

No way for me to become my own

Thrown in with the rest

Together we are packed away,

With no room left to let

Our personalities shine through

Squeezed together to get as much

In as we can

Packed away with no sense of

Identity,

No purpose,

Stacked in a storage closet

Locked away from the world

So often, it seems that we are packed away in a closet or lost in throgs of people. Suddenly, sometimes, a word, gesture, or a smile will come back to greet us; then, we know that we are very much alive. I loved your poem and I loved your thoughts. You are not "locked away from the world," because you are very much a part of it, adding all that you can to the beauty of it. This was a very well written and clearly understandable piece of writing; well executed and strong!

Your writings are often that thoughtful and considerate. I enjoy reading your writings so much. The title of this poem attracts my attention so much that I begin to read and found that I actually love the whole poem! Simple amazing, look foward to seeing your another masterpiece.

I felt cramped, like I couldn't breathe too while reading this poem and I guess that's what makes your writing unique-it is easier to relate to.
Short poem, words well chosen-and it's great, keep writing.

I relate to this feeling in several ways. It is impossible to create with love and expression when you have "intruders" into your personal space. Things get shuffled, work, children and no time to create. We can try to squeeze in some time, but an artist can not create on demand, they need space. Very well written.

I don't like to be packed away and silenced. Need to have open doors and free will for the children and the adults to know freedom and accomplish great things. The poem was direct and I like the ending. The poem open the door to many questions. Thank you for a excellent poem.

[Gilbert Saint]

Yeah, I really do feel packed away myself, maybe by my own doing or by a divine will. Its a good poem, but you would've emphasized the packing with more description, or maybe you wanted to keep it short, but anyway, its good.
