a box of truth

[Helga]

sometime we think it's better to hide the truth about how we feel



Closed and alone
in the corner
the box of truth
won't be opened

nobody wonders
and nobody cares
it's just there
hasn't been opened for years

'there's nothing in it we need
cause we have it all'

just leave it there
not to be found
in the dark corner
or up in the attic
somewhere you can't see it

maybe it's best to be quiet
and forget about the box of truth

[PrinceMyshkin]

The title alone is such a compelling statement of the theme of your poem. Well done!

[Dark Muse]

It was quite compelling it is true that oftentimes people seem to have difficulty with the truth.

[Left Field]

I enjoyed that, Helga.

[Pendragon]

Closed and alone
in the corner
the box of truth
won't be opened

nobody wonders
and nobody cares
it's just there
hasn't been opened for years

Terrific opening stanzas to a truly wonderful philosophical poem...

A very intersting poem

[Helga]

just a little something I don't know why I wrote..

A yellow flower

Between the rocks
A little flower
A little, frail yellow flower
Trying to grow
And reach the sun
On a rough ground
Trying to breakthrough

'If it could only find the sun
It would be safe'

The yellow flower is now in bloom
It found the sun
Found a light
But children’s play can crush it down
Can break it down
Can kill it.

Cut from it’s place
Picked by a girl
That takes it’s leaves
Saying: he loves me,
He loves me not,
He loves me
I know he does

The flower can't make him love her
the flower can only give hope
the flower was able to grow
between rocks and sand
even snow
but the girl came and took it
to convince herself
of a lover she dosen't have
