Crystal Box


In a crystal box I keep under my pillow
I hide all my treasures, all the delicate things,
all the wishful thinking,
all the happy moments,
all the loving memories,
all those things that fade.

It’s a heart shaped box,
sparkles like a diamond,
with a single tear in its very core.
It hides all things precious,
even childhood memories,
dreams and all the rainbows that have made me smile.

This box I never open,
It’s kept always hidden carefully out of sight.
For these things, even though they make me happy,
they do not make me stronger,
they do not help me fight.

It is hard experiences,
and the painful moments,
which help me define who I really am.
They give me the wisdom,
and the useful knowledge,
for me to be able to truly survive.

Happy memories are just that.
