Pandora's Box
by Esmeralda Kent

Always scolded as small children,
those who ask too many questions
never learn to take direction,
"How'd that rabbit get inside that hat?"
All the anger that's been hidden
Deep in secret hiding places,
throwing masks across our faces,
"Did curiosity really kill the cat?"

Twas a time when passion was the key
Which opened up the pain in me,
Destroying all the locks.
Unleashing demons spawned in fear,
Reflecting shadows in the mirror
of Pandora's Box.

Open it up, all that is concealed,
Open it up, so the truth can be revealed,
You must break all your locks.
Open it up, take a look inside,
Open it up, have you anything to hide
Inside Pandora's Box?
