Black Box

Black Box

A Poem by sheila.j

Does the pressure ever get to a point where it's too much?

How deep down you feel the hurt and pain well up

The way no one and nothing can console you

When something inside is so utterly wrong

But you keep it locked away

Safe in it's fire-proof, fool-proof box, with everything unacceptable

Is there a point when that box becomes too full

How the lock won't click shut and the box bends out of shape

Deformed metal bursting and oozing out the puss from the inside

The way everyone will scrunch there nose and look away

Because the deep inside is so vile and disgusting to them.

yes, I agree with this, that everyone has a dark side, its just that most aren't willing to admit it or even acknowledge it. And everyone could relate to this at some point in there lives.
