Life Inside the Box

My life is like a box,
I keep it all inside my heart,
Trying so hard to not let it out,
Trying so hard not to break apart,

My heart is braking in pieces,
And my tears are falling down,
As the pain increases,
And I am the talk of the town,

My box starts breaking,
With the emotions over loaded,
And I feel it start shaking,
Then the box exploded,

The emotions once inside,
Now are all in the bright light,
And the pain subsides,
And I start to feel the delight,

My heart no longer breaks,
At the site of your face,
As I let go of this mistake,
When everything starts to take its place,

I see my life as it used to be,
And I say to my friend,
I am now free,
And able to mend,

Mend my heart and soul,
So I can show all of them now,
And now take control,
And watch them all say WOW!
