Worthy of Pandora

Are you my frustration? Are you the grittiness in my teeth and the sand in my shoes? If you are, I've been looking for you. I've been seeking you out, hunting you down, rounding you up. I've been searching high and low, and I'm just about fed up with this mindless meandering race. Every day I'm trying to outdo you. I'm trying to go above and beyond matching your pace, because simply keeping up with you isn't good enough. I want to bottle you up. I want to wrestle you into a container and seal it shut, stashing it deep down in the corner of my psychological basement. But even there, alone and in the dark, you fester. You nurse your wounds and plan your vengeance. And somewhere during my fitful sleep, between the nightmares and the still coolness that prickles on my skin, I'll slip down and release you.

You and I---we've created a box worthy of Pandora.

Combined, we are an explosion. Together, we are a catastrophe.

Psalm 4:4

Don’t sin by letting anger control you.
    Think about it overnight and remain silent.

Love you guys,

Great! That was the intention. :P

Sometimes it's fun to experiment a little and see what it takes to capture people's emotion through words, am I right? :)

You know...every time I read a post by you I come away amazed. You really have a way of expressing emotions through words.

Jack, you said it. K-minty, you really know how to catch an emotion in a picture made of words. I've never really seen it done as artistically as you do. Great job, girlie.
