In A Box

Anthony Hanible

Trapped for years

The box was sealed up

With tears

Hidden by

The darkness of my mind

And

The coldness of my heart

Silenced by

My fears

Left there to die

Lost and scared

In a box

I be

Is a song I sing

Wishing someone finds me

A warm embrace

Would set me free

Hiding away in the darkness hoping someone will come along who cares, and enable that box to be opened, nicely expressed and written

Well set this poem with metaphor tells of being imprisoned waiting for some one to reach out and embrace them. Lovely
