#22 The shelf

why am I so good at it?
to put them away
all these negative thoughts

wrapping up
all the things making me feel
every knife which cuts
me deep inside

forming them into
boxes in gift wrap
but inside
they're nothing but problems

problems I can't solve
not right now
so I store them
until the solution is near

sometimes
unconsciously
a package opens up

the only thing I have to do then
is putting it back on the shelf
after tying a bow around it

that's not a solution
I already know
but it's an endless algorithm
never to stop

best thing to happen
a solution is found
unwrapping a package
and burn it to the ground
