A Glass Box
Imagine a glass box
You’re holding the box
You’re also in the box
You can’t get out, can’t let go
You feel the constant push and pull of your hands
yet have no control over any of it
The restrictions and resistance fuel pure rage
You wish to release the grip,
but the harder you heave
the tighter it tenses
The greater the girth of the glass gets
the blurrier the box becomes,
the smaller your space surrounds
Until the gaps in your palms become as rare as the air in your lungs,
backed up to the corner with no sense left
No noise but the truth
Nothing remains but what is real
You soften the glass with sincere breaths
‘Til wisdom wastes away what was once a glass box.
