Comments : From my box

    My mind went many directions here, coming to the conclusion that all these people were you at one time. Each thought was different than the last. The first stanza is very clever. At first I thought you were talking about depression but now I think it could be a box full of memories of the past, and you are trying to hide from your life right now. I do like how each stanza enfolds. Each one is showing a time from your past that you want to go back to or forget maybe. I can interpret it both ways. Either one: you are lost in memories of a past you are scared of going back to. Or two you want to go back to the way it was. I'm guess number one is more true and that is causing you depression. Great write

    !! Another awesome piece o: I think this is an excellent read. The way you captured such a jaded and tired and kind of hopeless perspective, observing everyone outside of him and kind of nostalgically identifying with them in one way but feeling distanced from their worlds in another, if that makes any sense. Anyway, that's just my amatuer take on it (: My favorite lines, because of the impact it has to it;

    After a while I open my eyes just enough to glance south,
    nothing, just a mirror on a stand, reflecting me.
    this image scares me the most and I cower,
    ducking down and I wonder,

    Is this box in my mind?
    Or is my mind in this box?

    I think this is really clever, pensive stuff :o
    5/5
