The Box

48 14 14
                                    

It sat in the room...dark and grim
I know what's inside of it
But I'm still scared of it
Horrified of it
Embarrassed of it.

I call this box fear
I don't like it.
It does not like me..
Filled with sadness and thoughts and memories I don't want to remember.
I about things beyond others understanding....
It is filled with the filth I think too... among other ideas too scary to explore

"Will anything be normal again.....will I ever see them again..... what happens when you reach for the......"
It can't be held any tighter than I hold it .......can it?
I've held on to it...till my fingers started bleeding...drip...drip..drip.. the blood falls

I no longer able to hold the box.....
Drop it on the ground....
I am scared it will reveal itself
And others will laugh. Laugh at me....

I am capable of a lot...but it holds me back....
I keep it close to me afraid others will peak inside
They mustn't see the mess I am.
I can't hold on to it.
It demand to be free.

I look at everyone else they are so happy.
I wish to be happy too.
I soon realize I need to let it go.

With a deep breathe I open it.
And let it all out.
It is free,therefore I am free.
Now I can keep better things it it.
This time I call it love.

You can tell I tried something new this time..... I don't know how it turned out... do tell me if you liked it.. comment and vote... P.S- the underlined words make a difference in the story.
