Solid Crystal Cube

Solid Crystal Cube
A perfect cube.
 It is strong and holds in everything.
All sides are sealed.
 There is an opening that moves around - it never is in the same place twice.
 It has to move - because when it does open something difficult comes out. 
And so to avoid getting opened again the door moves 
No one wants to deal with the difficult inside.
 Keep it all inside - locked up, tied up, choked up
Please keep smiling.
Everything stays on the surface.
Don't go too deep - no one can go there.  Its dark in the deep. 
(Is it really dark ?  Or is it just that you have to engage to see the light? )
No its dark, everyone has told me so
Or its stupid or dull, I've been told
I see a hollow crystal cube -perfect with strong walls
Inside I see the things that no one wants me to let out.
A fairy, light as air and beautiful. Iridescent wings to fly her high as she can go, chiffon dress flowing blond hair falling loosely around her face. 
A dark witch, all black velvet robes and ruby red jewels.  Pale cold skin, green eyes flashing waiting to take over everything that should be hers.
A child - innocent and shy, eyes wide with wonder at everything she sees - reaching out to touch everything softly and just longing to be part of something beautiful.
An old woman peering suspiciously at everything around her, not trusting the air she breathes.  The color of her skin and hair unseen hidden by the clothes used as a shield
No matter which one gets out of the cube there is someone waiting to tell her No
That this person she is today is not right - she has strayed to far from the center today.
So the cube closes the seal is made tight until the door is found again
And then again for just a moment, a short precious moment when all the things get out.

I cannot believe the things I feel and yet cannot find the words to express
everything is inside and battering at me to escape - but it can't
I want to tell you
But I just can't explain
I am stuck being the one you think is dumb
the one who sounds so shallow
but I think that you could drown in me if you could find the way
the way to the center of my being -
where it all is - where the ideas all swirl in a storm
inside my mind lies the key to the universe.
Because I am you and you are me - we are all what we see but cannot
express. 
I don't know how to even scream out my pain
There is something deep within my core that
needs to escape but it is caged.
Caged by the constraints of society - of what is acceptable
God
Rip me open
Tear me apart
Let everyone see what is real
What is going on - what the fuck is going on ?
Why are we so blind to everything around us?
Why do we just traipse through life blind to responsibilities?
Why do we put on a show, all of us actors?
Many, oh too many,
Worthy of Oscars.
We only show what we think will bring the applause
Because we cannot bear the loneliness of silence
