Honorable Mention

have a box of sadness that I keep upon a shelf old and tattered from being opened too many times inside are the fallen tears of my collected sadness in that box dwells all my pain, sorrow, regret and grief now, it is Christmastime and I need to open it again so, I can dwell with the memories for just awhile

Beautiful feelings expressed ~ L1 I think you meant noun 'shelf' vs verb 'shelve'

Sadness at Christmas is difficult to forget. Many find joy in holidays, others find grief. I hope the holidays become easier.
