SHOEBOX

I keep my thoughts in a shoe box
under the bed where no one can see
I intend to keep them hidden
afraid that someone might disagree

I keep my dreams in a shoe box
where all ambitions are gathered
tucked safely from anyone's reach
in a place where it will never get shattered

I keep my heart in a shoe box
because not one will ever understand
the unusual way that it's beating
awaiting cure from a magical hand

My whole life is in a shoe box
much less precious than diamonds and gold
but if anyone should find what's in that shoe box
I insist that I be told...
