The Box

March 12, 2021

The four dark enclosed walls surround me almost as if I were in a dungeon.

It's muggy inside because of how tight the space is between me and the walls.

 


The four dark enclosed walls are as shallow as a deep well.

They surround me almost as if I were in a dungeon.

It's muggy inside because of how tight the space is between me and the walls.

 

The box is a house where my world feels safe inside.



The four dark enclosed walls are as shallow as a deep well.

They surround me almost as if I were in a dungeon.

It's muggy inside because of how tight the space is between me and the walls.

 

The box is a house where my world feels safe inside yet empty at times.

I am brown in the right shade of light, but much darker when the brightness dims.

 

A box so simple yet so complex.
