Inside our minds
Inside our hearts
Inside our bodies
We wrap up little boxes
We tie little bows around the boxes
We store the boxes safely
The little boxes conceal the secrets
We hide from the world
We hide from those we love
We hide from those who love us
We hide from ourselves
Those boxes stack on top of one another
Wedge into the empty spaces
Get smashed against one another
Banged, crushed, cracked
The concealed secrets leak
Into our memories
Into life’s…
