There is a box inside my head…
A box I didn’t know existed
All along it’s been there seeping…
Calling to me to know it’s there
A Pandora’s box – with all my sorrows
Pent up over all these years
Recently, it burst open
And flooded all my senses
The sight and sound,
the smell and taste
And definitely the touch
Of all that pain
I’ve held onto,
Since my time here began
It took me by surprise
And dropped me to my knees
One after another the scenes played out
And haunt me still today
And for every memory
that slapped me in the face…
Three more are hidden,
To just wait
To wound me
ever deeper…

I agree, it is very poignant. Stay well!
Some memories should never see the light of day! Brilliant write!
You are all write. nice! ww
Some memories are meant to stay hidden. Hope they do. Great poem!
In the original mythology pandora actually has a jar, not a box. But besides that, it's good.
Now this is just great - the whole rhythm and the way it all flows - super piece of writing.
Great work here Phoenix, enjoyed it very much!
