Poem of the day. Draft one
Box
"Think outside the box," they told me.
"Think outside the box," they'd say.
So I put my socks and shoes on, and I stepped out of the box one day.
This outside place - this wonderland
I was led astray from the task at hand.
With no signs to point me to one single resolution, I wandered in search of my own solution -
And - I found many! And I kept finding more
Solutions to my questions,
More questions to my solutions.
Infinity suggestions, and
Invaluable life lessons .
In this world of possibilities
With no limits set with in it
The more I stepped outside that box, the less time I spent it.
As time went on, something began to change with that box.....
Or was it I who had changed? All I know for certain, was that things were getting strange-
Because each time I was summoned to return “Home” to my box, it had become increasingly difficult to fit back in it.
Perhaps I was growing, or the box was shrinking smaller
Or maybe it was a little shorter, or I was growing a little taller
Was this box getting thinner? Was I growing wider?
What I do know for certain was: The fit was getting tighter.
Too many questions! Suffocating in that box!
I put my socks and shoes on and I stepped out of the box
And with an “Ah-Ha!” moment, it all became so clear……
The box is not for me
This outside place - this wonderland is where I need to be
So I’ll be staying here
And I’ll be leaving my mark, for the entire world to hear.
Farewell box.
