Black Box

This really is just a poem about being trapped inside of comfort, I wrote it last night after being peeved by this thought and I wasn't able to sleep until I got it down.

 

This little black box, it encapsulates me

It makes me free

I confide in it

It confides in me

It keeps me out

I have room to flee

  as I ease

  slowly forward

  lonely coward

loosing himself in his false sense of security

There is a rich, personal depth to the confessions found in this poem. You give us such a visually stirring work, allowing us to sense something vividly that takes place within your mind.. that sense of being trapped and loosed as well. Very profoundly moving!

It seems the best way to be at times but how much do we lose ourselves in that state?:) This is suffocating, in a good way lol xx

Wow. Powerful. It's amazing how the little things can make one connect to it! I think we've all felt like we get trapped in a "false sense of security," feeling as though we're lost in a big, scary world, our security blanket having been torn from us.

How interesting that the subject matter peeved you until you penned it. I know this well. Love so this short but complex work also.

This is absolutely lovely.
Written with simplicity, you managed to create a perfect image in my minds' eye.
Amazing job.
