Out of Sight

Those boxes in the attic Just a reminder of all the loose ends The ones you try to avoid Heart of gold Always thinking of others Always out to help and to give Keeping so very busy Mechanically Subconsciously Cluttering your mind Conveniently avoiding Dealing with Those devastating news Conveniently looking outward At everyone else Rather than within Where there’s pain And mostly fear Not so deep inside Understandably Numbing it Keeping so busy No end in sight Applying a band-aid Forgetting Time waits for no one And the end is near Deal with everything in your attic So little time to tie loose ends Less than you think Submitted for contest PHOTOSTORY 3 sponsored by EVE ROPER - November 6, 2017 - RANKED 4TH
