Mystery

I open the box, but nothing is there.

I continue to stare inside the box hoping to find something more.

I look deeper and start to see something small.

I realize it is your heart wanting to break out from the darkness.

As I bring it to the light,

It becomes a mystery why people hurt you so bad in the first place.
