Caution Dynamite Here lies Pandora's box Not quite a curse Not quite a dark pit But a diamond So sharp It will open up your wounds Just by looking at it Open with caution Open with care In fact Consider not opening the box Consider that the brightness Is as sharp as the edge Consider reconsidering Re-reading your journals

Note to self: Warning
Caution Dynamite Here lies Pandora's box Not quite a curse Not quite a dark pit But a diamond So sharp It will open up your wounds Just by looking at it Open with caution Open with care In fact Consider not opening the box Consider that the brightness Is as sharp as the edge Consider reconsidering Re-reading your journals
I wrote it after I was sorting through old journals and opened one and BAM, I was on the floor in FLOODS of tears. They are now in a box awaiting a hand written warning/note to self.
