The box of pain, always ignored
Hurt goes in, never once explored.
Once learned from the best; deny, deny, deny.
Same principle applied, name it, let it die.
It’s cabined: hey, thanks Gavin.
Uninspired to write about pain, disappointment or loss,
Or betrayal or grief or loneliness or cost.
Feel it, learn, move on, let it go.
Put it in a box, seal it shut, double down,
Chuck it overboard, cheerio, let it drown.
And turn the page.
