           strangers

tell me to close the lid
    to lock my emotions
       to hide the key
          to bury them
        beneath deluded soil
     beneath the mud
  beneath unstable ground
beneath the eyes of others


full of foriegn thoughts
the box sits and waits
waiting for blithe feelings
waiting for the acceptance
   cold
      chipped
          cracked
             bleeding

        the box waits

This is the best poem I've seen from you nina, possibly the best by far.  Whatever you're doing, keep doing it.

Nina,

I just have to say that even I am impressed with this poem.

The metaphorical implications of "box" verges on profound.

This coming from a 15 year old girl that hasn't even written a dozen poems almost boggles the mind.
