Content:HW Quote Poem

I tried to tame my life

I scolded its bad behavior and punished it until it coiled itself into neat little pieces

I decided to keep the pieces in a locked box

The box whimpered during the day and shook at night

I was always terrified that the pieces would break free and change my idea of who I am

One day when I feel brave enough I will open that box and to achieve true contentness

letting the pieces fall wherever they will

I am free
