The Box of Real Life

My life has been so scattered

With too many opened boxes

Which one do I take care of next

Each one hurts

but in a different way

Pain pills don’t take away 

all the pain


Try forgiveness 


The pain is still there

Keeping me from the joy in life

Those scattered boxes

Some closed tight

Some half empty

Empty, at least one


To be refilled with JOY,

despite

the crap once stored inside 


My heart is open 

positive possibilities

                 the box of real life
