The Box

Elise Valentie

Im all alone in this box,
In it’s deepest darkest most coldest corner,
Whail everyone else is happily sitting on their platforms well above this box in the warmth and light of the sun,
Their platforms are so thick they seem to be unbreakable,
But we all know they’ll be back,
One day their platform will just dissapare from underneath them,
And they’ll be right back where they started,
In the deepest darkest corners of their own little worlds wallowing in their problems and dreanched in self pity,
With a piercing thorn in their side,
A thorn so deep it may never be removed,
Right now they may not have as many thorns as me or the skin may have healed over so well scars harldy show,
But their there their never gone,
Because sadness is never gone,
It will always be burried deep within us,
One day they’ll be back and the blood will be freash and the thorns ten times deeper,
“Welcome to our world of infinate sadness”
Ill say,
“i knew you’d be back soon”
And welcome them with open arms.
