The Deep Dark Place

Find a box deep down inside yourself
A place that others will never find
Know it’s there but don’t think of it
When those things that hurt too much
Are yours through the years and tears
Put them in this deep darkest place 
And lock the box tight so they won’t be found again.

Ah, I like the concept of your poem. Sometimes only we can heal our deepest pains. We need to find the strength within to do that. It's not easy but it helps. I love writing about these topics as well. Thank you, I enjoyed this.
