JAR by Kristi Kirby

Passion
Locked inside the
Imaginary jar
Inside my chest
The lid is so shaky
It barely can resist
The pressure to
Pop the top
Enormous pain
Building while
I’m still healing
Tears constantly
Flowing
Mind is swimming
In a sea of beautiful
Pictures and adventures
That will never be
The unknown is stillness
My world is turning
So slowly
I need to let the pressure
Out of this jar
I am a star too
If only someone
Would wish upon me
And find my hand
And walk forevermore.
