I wrote this about someone I know who is using drugs and alcohol, basically hurting and making everyone miserable. Nobody can get through to her. Her Box
Beautiful
Money spent
Material wishes, cravings
All desires fulfilled
Distort mind
Fun, fast, just for me
Happiness for now
I think
Inside the box
Outside
Look, see
Family, God
Authority, structure
Expectations, See their pain
Hate, I think
Do not believe, Do not care
Break all, hurt
Destroy, abandon
Run, escape
Into the box
Inside me
Ache, confusion
Loathing, pain
Trapped
Want, need
Soothing
Inside the box
A bandage covers
Does not ease
My pain
Want, need
Soothing
Can’t find
Inside the box
Outside the box
Look, see
Family, God
See their love, devotion
Hurt, pain
Confusion
Helpless despair
Tears because
I am in the box, alone
Love, a salve
To soothe and heal me
Can’t get me out
Of the box
To help my pain
I cannot see
A bandage covers me
I am trapped
Inside the box
