I compiled the negativity
placed it in a box
taped the top securely
and then stored it all away
I wrote on the box
“to be burned someday”
and I will
Then I dreamed a sweet dream
so deep a dream
that I had to crawl out to wake up
a peaceful story
in worry-less sleep
just as it had been
before
(only all of this is real
and more)
