Sitting at the edge Possibly dangeling over By the thinest wire A mysterious box Evil looking and dangerous An invisable barrier In between you and me Built with distrust Anger, fear, and pain Alone I hurt Because thats what loners do If the wire were to break If I were to fall Chaos would take controll Because I Am Pandora's Box Once opened all hell breaks loose Things you have been warned to stay away from Would manifest in me I would become taboo Unworthy to be looked at Unworthy to be loved All would turn their backs Knowing that by doind so Would be to wish me away And instead of an invisable barrier There would be an invisable me I Am Pandora's Box Calling to you Dareing you Asking you To open the box Just see whats inside What makes me tick Anger Sadness Hunger Pain Deep unnerving pain Break through my Barrier Cut me down But don't let me fall Don't drop me Because Pandora's Box Has no patience for weakness It would chew you up And spit you out Pushing you back out From whence you came And instead of closing Would cause more pain Until it felt satisfied With what it has collected And would close itself again For that is the boxes way Until the next unsuspecting fool Listened to it's calls And opened it again Which would thus lead To them dropping it And the cycle would drone on So I ask you Stand back Listen not to my pleads Just let the box be And I Pandora's Box Can finally live in peace Hidden in the dark Just a shadow of your memory But like a siren I will still call So be forewarned All that can come of opening me Is pain and suffering Not to you But me the box Storing everything Said Heard Felt Seen I wont tell you How to open me Thats something you have to figure out on your own But be careful Don't get burned I have a firey soul And I'm not apt to look Who it is That is opening me up You wonder how I came to be Because Pandora's Box Is just supposed to be a myth Well I guess it starts with A shattered Dream A broken smile A question unanswered A prayer unheard A secret denied A child left behind A teen left alone An adult unknown When everything went wrong And I locked it all inside I hid the key And looked to darkness for comfort Always adding to what was stored People never asked I hid behind a mask An act A smile Nothing ever suspected Then or now Things are still the same Must be a good actress To get this far And not breakdown The key has been forgotten And this is how I became Pandora's Box Part of the elite The ones you have forgotten We do exist Seen as a mysterious box By all who look In our direction Dangeling by the thinest wire Over the great abyss Waiting until It swallows us Because by then It will be to late We will have already crossed over And what you see Would be a memory Of what you once saw A mysterious box Calling your name Quit possibly evil But probably not It's up to you to decide You Do you want to help Or will you just walk by Eyes cast skyward Ignoring the cries The pleads The hopes for One One person Just like you Someone brave enough To see past the Pain The suffering The huet The anger Will you be the one To help me fly Fix my broken wings Teach my to trust What it is I'm doing Help me see That I too Can be like you A kid If only temporairly Able to laugh Run Play And do things other kids do Before I have to grow again And something goes wrong Sending me back into my box Pandora's Box But for now this is what I am I Am Pandora's Box Dangeling by the thinest wire Dangerous Mysterious Evil Invisable I Am Pandora's Box Something to fear So don't come near Beacuse I don't want To hurt you You don't need to see Everything inside of me This box will stay locked I will loose the key And then I will hurt No one I Am Pandora's Box lost and afraid i am calling out to you light angel. |

ok, i noticed how long this poem is and as i read it wondered if there was a purpose to the repitition, is it to convey the processes you constantly repeat in life? the constant cycle of emotional upheaval? your poem is heartbreaking...if this is truly how you see yourself/circumstance just know that it is okay to exist outside that box. dont worry about the havoc...breathe, live free...and eventually the world adapts and so do you. you choose to close yourself in. give yourself and everyone else the benefit of the doubt...lose that key AFTER youve climb out the box. everything is fleeting. that is one thing you can believe in. and, its not always bad thing. "A shattered Dream A broken smile A question unanswered A prayer unheard A secret denied A child left behind A teen left alone An adult unknown When everything went wrong And I locked it all inside I hid the key And looked to darkness for comfort Always adding to what was stored People never asked I hid behind a mask An act A smile Nothing ever suspected Then or now Things are still the same Must be a good actress To get this far And not breakdown" |

*pats* I love the comparison. Not something I ever would ave thought of myself. And I'll give you the same "cheering up" advice I give everyone. Ben and Jerry's! Or chocolate. Or both, if you're ambitious. The point of this being, feel better. And maybe let someone sneak a peek into the box once in a while? |

muted yeah the repititon thing was on purpos. it is exactly what i go through. and it is based on how i feel all the time. PBC i will do both and some pizza to go along with it. but cheering up isn't exactly that simple for me. lost and afraid i am calling out to you light angel. |

Ice...that was deeply moving. As lonely and full of taboo and pain that you harbor...I feel that your heart still beats. You have just temporarily forgotten your own rythm. I loved this...as I love you and all of your poetry. Yv-Goddess of Her Domain. Symbol of Truth Passion Pain. Let Her Smile Rain on the Hearts of the Innocent. |

thank you yv. i just hope it gets across the point that i'm not like others. i don't ask for help out loud but i do want it. and when people get to close i push them away. i'm just different that way i guess. lost and afraid i am calling out to you light angel. |

when you cant trust, you push away,when you dont want to get hurt, you push away, keeping all good away, doesnt make better. i know ive done it, too many times. i am reading your writings. you express yoursself quite well. my heart goes out to you. i feel alot of pain here |

Impressive....but we can't despair unless we know hope. This is what pandora's box was all about. Cheering up is hard to do, but we can't be sad if we understand what it is to be happy. Good Write! Look forward to reading more from you |
