One Piece by Daniel Colgin

Embrace This

Freedom of mind is something you'll find that
helps you with time in a dark place like this.
The dark is so dark that the beginning will mark
the way you should come back to the original start.
All of us closets stacked full of boxes
filled with happy and hurtful felings all in a row.
Don't you remember all the things you have lived?
For a single drop of happiness how much did you give?
Do you have anything to show besides your unopened box,
the closets, the closed doors with tamper proof locks?
At some point you will open all the things you once knew,
and until that day comes there are things you must do.
You must free your mind of all locks and doors,
you must burn all your boxes all stacked on the floors.
It may seem impossible and unimportant right now,
still you must do it to be free of all space,
then your mind is your own and that you'll embrace.
