2021 #6 – Pandora’s Box

Monster inside.
Fighting to be free.
A black dragon,
shiny and sleek.

Don't let him out.
Into the world he flies,
with wings spread.
A shadow blotting out the sun.

It feels good to be out.
Go anywhere, do anything.
Be who I want to be.
Have all the things.

Watch out, the beast is loose.
Pandora's box is broken.
I will never be caged,
ever again.

One thought on “2021 #6 – Pandora’s Box

  1. I love the perspective shift in this poem, moving from “him” to “I.” The image of the dark dragon is clear, and the idea of it being released from Pandora’s box provides depth, and a knowledge about it’s potential evil.
