Letters of my life

Stuck in a box

We don't know
Know the world
Know our world
Nothing
Nothing that could be
Could be something
We don't know
Know what that something is
Something
Something that makes us happy
Makes us sad
Makes us cry
Makes us die
We live in a box
All of us
A box where we live alone
Where I live alone
I can't open the box
Because I don't know
I don't understand
Understand anything
What makes them sad
What makes them happy
I want to know
I love them
I cherish them
But I can't open the box
No matter what
No matter how
I can't
But sometimes
I don't know
But I open the box
Just a little
A little peep
And it was enough
Enough for that one moment
One memory
Of you who smiled for me
Who cried for me
Was it a lie?
I don't think so
Was it all fake?
I wish not
All I do is be myself
And only me
And the little box
The box that I am in
Inside of my little box
I opened it
Me
Myself
And no one else
Are we not meant
Meant to open
The box where we know
The box where we understand
My heart
My light shines so deep
My truth
My lies give me warmth
I cannot help
Help but wonder
Is it true?
I do not understand
If so why?
Why do I feel so sure?
Of my heart
Of my light
Of my lies and truths
What is it
It outside the box
Outside what is outside
A sky?
A rainbow?
Will we die?
If we step out
Out the box
With my tiny feet
Feet never used
Used out of the box
Will it be okay?
Will I not turn
Turn but to dust?
And break from the pressure
The pressure of truth
Like the black lake
Like the white sky
Sky so white
Will it crush me?
Will my tears be enough?
Enough to be me?
Enough to know?
Know my loved?
Know you?
Everyone
Everyone I am sure
Sure, that I am
That we all
We human kind
We people
Are of all sorts of boxes
Until we see the peep
We cannot help
Help but try
Try so hard
Hard to open it once again
And that's how we connect
Connect to one another
To you
To me
To all
The happiness
Happiness when we open
Open the box
And see
See a view unlike anything
Beautiful
Shining
Magic
I see
See someone
Someone who I love
I have opens their box
They have opens mine
We are now connected
We see each other
Hear each other
Feel each other
And we are but smiling
Smiling full of tears
More box's
All around
Of different sorts
Of different kinds
We wished
Wished together
To be together
To bring together
Strings
Strings all connected
Connected to people
To our box's
Connections made all over
Is what made us humans
Made us feel
To see truly one another
To see your parents
Your lover
Your friends shining
as you come out
Come out to be brought to life
Out of the box
We understand
When we start to be human
When we start with our four legs
Then two
Then three
We will learn to understand
Understand so many things
But not all
But enough to make you happy
Happy to have made all
All these strings
Strings tied to you
From another
All I want is to see you smile
Smile before I die
That was all it took
All it took to open my box
To fight
Fight so hard
With you
The box we were stuck in
from someone's love we were born
That was enough
I don't need to know everything
Just enough to make my strings happy
Happy enough to love
But their are those who want
Want to know all
So they try harder
Harder then anything to find it
And pry open through every box outside the original box
Again
And again
And again
They sacrifice
Because their love is knowledge
Everything is for love
To understand
Nothing is without
Without such pure feelings
Feelings as pure as white snow
Feelings as pure as black crows
All mix together
To still be pure
Pure no matter what
And that is knowledge
Knowledge known
Knowledge we all search for
Doesn't matter the amount
Doesn't matter how much we want
All we want is to know
Know just enough for us
And for that to be
One must open their box
To make their first string
From their shut in box
