Pandora's Paradox~

Press the outer limits

 of sanity

consenting

 to denial's deep fix

engrossed in past filings

oblivious

 to the ebbs and flow

whilst darkness looms,

slicing through

 distinct fears,

hearts frozen past

masking pain

 with a smile,

 dancing alone on a wire

the world moves

 forward

with or without words

awaiting 

a finished masterpiece,

scavenging

 for a new reality

never finding an ending,

closure

 a foreign enigma

an inexpugnable defeat, 

losing

 the grip on life

meekly accepting fate,

running

 headlong to acquiescence

multitudes of quantum

 leaps towards

confining

 self made prisons,

unto

 exhaustive

 ~paradox of secrets~

The title intrigues me from the very start. It made me think about mythological box from the Greeks. It made me read more about the subject matter maybe because I have a vague memory about the storyline of the box. Hehe…

“Pandora's box triumphs...”

The myth’s says that the box contains all the evil in the world. But I would say the storyline of the myth is not much related to this piece, yet it is your own version, your own box – It explains your denial and being the prisoner of your own doing or self-made choices. This box contains secrets that is hard to let go and it confines you to your own sanity.

Very nice work my friend. :)

Hmmm, I've been called an enigma wrapped in a paradox once or twice, thanks Scott.

This is such an interesting and thoughtful write. The walls we build, the secrets around us, do we open them up, or live inside them? Is the headlong small on purpose to match the shape?

[Frieda P]

It's an apprehensive headlong....and depends I think, some secrets die within us. Thanks KL.

Self-made prisons and a paradox of secrets. I believe I have stood at those crossroads. Beautifully penned despite the underlying angst of before and now.
