My Box of Dreams

There's a box I keep hidden away
it's marked "what's important to me." 
in this box sits my past, all I once knew,
and everything I once believed. 
If I opened his box all the items I'd find 
would allow me to see through my childhood eyes and all the innocent dreams I'd relive would prove that living itself as a lie.
