Box

A box-
no labels – no warnings
it lays – it waits
for what – for who
nobody knows

no directions – no instructions
it called – you answered
yo!
you did not know

you touching it – it touching you
you were full of fears – it was full of tears
you gently opened it – it gently opened you
much more than a box

a rainbow in a box

now you know – and it knows
you can let it go – it can let you go
but you hold it – and it holds you
you are in a box

you do not own it – but it owns you
you were not the first – you are not the last
you are struggling – it is struggling
you should have known

no labels – no warnings
it lays – waiting
for what – for who
nobody knows
