Safe

I keep myself

In a box

Somewhere

Safe

Sometimes

I escape

And the wounding

Happens

I gather myself

And take inventory

Tucking me in

Again

Sigh and breath

Glance and dream

Hold and love

Safe in a box

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

I think most of us have need for a box like that. Even though we may venture out, the assurance that it's still there is vital for survival.

It's true, we all do. This was wrote whilst I was in a long term relationship that just wasn't healthy for me.
