A painfully penned poem, written from the depths of your heart.

Lori, real pain expressed in the way that it still remains: in the heart and mind of the four-year old who experienced it. I can in some ways identify, Lori, though no-one can truly know or share the depths of emotion we feel, because sometimes it is not fully understood even by us who have it. In many ways, I think we are all damaged children underneath our adult veneer - we have just learnt cover-up techniques. Words such as these of yours Lori, are hopefully catharctic for you, but also for those of us who likewise have damage we need to work through and let go of... many boxes that sadly we have never wanted but yet remain. Grace and Peace to you through these times KB

"I Didn't Want A Box" strikes that feeling of deep soul. It made me take a trip on the train of imagination and get off on age five...

I have enjoyed this one.

Gratefully,

Such pain is always felt strongest when we are young. But so is the love we feel for those we lose.
