OPEN BOXES by Jackie McCartney

Once you open the box the memories flood out

Once you open the box you recall the nightmares

Once you open the box you see the failure

Once you open the box you see the neglect

Once you open the box you see an feel the pain

Once you open the box the lid cannot remain
