I opened
Pandora's box
"close the lid,"
my brain yelled
to my hands.
My hands tried
to press down
on the lid.
The contents
of the box
flew out.
My hands
lifted,
causing
my head
to look up.
I'd been looking
at the box
for so long,
I forgot to
look around.
When I finally
looked up
at the contents
of the box
floating
through the air,
I felt overwhelmed.
until each piece
found somewhere
to land.
There's no
box anymore.
no lid
to keep closed.
Just my
thoughts flying
everywhere,
completely exposed.
But they
were never meant
to be concealed
they were meant
to be aired out.
Because anything
left inside a box
long enough
will eventually
want out.
