Pandora's Box

Box

One box

Words enscribed upon

Language unrecognizable by me

Fingers tingle towards golden lock

Danger, danger, get out

Voice in head

Urging against

Peeks

Look around

Nobody's looking now

Too busy living, laughing

Uncontrollable fingers touch its sides

Smooth wood, glossy, Danger

Can't ignore temptation

Must investigate

Unlocked

Find opening

Slide fingers beneath

Pull harder than boulders

A creak, a swing, Danger

Cold, unable to move

Bad things creep

Into heart

Suffocating

Screams erupt

Sorrow flowing out

Rush to end despair

One thing remains in box

Wonder what it is

Can't look now

Might lose

Hope

Never, Never

Never, never, 

Never, never, 

Never give up.

Never, never,

 Never, never,

 Never say "I can't"

Never, never, 

Never, never,

 Never be fearful.

Never, Never, 

Never, Never, 

Never speak softly.

Never, Never,

Never, Never,

Never stop singing.

Never never stop singing

Cause it's who you are.

Nothingness- A poem about hope.

Like black paint
Or a blindfold
No sight, just
Nothingness
Footsteps
Dark tunnel surrounds me
In every direction, midnight
Never to see the light of day
All we can do
Is walk
Walk down a never-ending
Tunnel of
Despair and darkness
Whispers of hate
Fill my ears
I can't stop
Just walk
While the light in my eyes
Slowly fades
Melting fast
Like my will to live
Nothingness
Dulled by hate
And destined
To walk forever
Down this tunnel
Where the rocks poke at my toes
And I am alone
Until
One dot
Less than a dot, so small, faint
But still there
Light
Life surges once again
Through my bones
Wild as rivers
I run a bit
Growing nearer, it's still there
Not an illusion, real thing.
Many miles off
Walking again, but now
With a light in my chest
A small light, known as hope
One day I shall be there
Out of the gloom
Misery
Silence
Until then I shall hope
Though the Nothingness still reigns.
