Gift Bag of Misery
Like a two-headed monster from Pandora’s Box
Or a hidden room of misery, that this master key unlocks
The ability to see the thoughts we would deny we think
Overwhelms our thalamus, in just a blink
Sometimes this vile creature tortures me with tears
Then in the silent darkness, it unleashes hidden fears
Like the mirror of an Evil Queen
Revealing truths, better left unseen
I catch a glimpse of who I really am
This fateful mirror, reveals the sham
Informed now with this painful reality, I run my humbly assigned race
Seeing life with this greater clarity, I’m more inclined to give you grace
So perhaps it is a two-sided coin, that this box has given me
A gift carefully wrapped within, this gift bag of misery
