My Box of Sadness

 
                  I have a box of sadness 
   that I keep upon a high shelf
an old and tattered pretty box
       worn from being opened
looking inside with falling tears
             I see all my collected sadness
in that box dwells my pain, grief, and sorrows
      I have put my memories inside
and closed the lid real tight
            until I must remember
then, I take the box down from that high shelf
                   touching it tenderly I remember
and slowly open up the lid
      looking inside at all my sadness
                   I weep for all the hurts within
