watch now and see
they've asked to see inside
they say they'll believe.

Open the box ever so slowly
watch now and see
they'll peer inside with caution
and clap their hands with glee.

Release all that's held there
watch now and see
take it all in if you can
just nod your head and agree.

Oh my, what a treasure
watch now and see
you've conquered the mountain
and have scaled the trees.

They'll try to capture her
watch now and see
possess her and use the power
never wanting to set her free.

Shocked of all they find there
watch now and see
boredom and fatigue to follow
she'll suffer just to breathe.

They've lost the box by now
watch now and see
all that's left is their treasure
and they no longer wish to believe.

Share the treasure then retreat
watch now and see
time vastly slips through fingers
dull is the treasure while struggling to breathe.

Realize too late what you've hoped for
watch now and see
no box left to place her in
and the treasure dies without your belief.

Jaymee, I never where I'm going to taken by you.....and where I end up......but I really could relate to this poem........it was really good stuff!
If they try to put you in a box......make sure it's large enough for you to continue living in....don't let them put a top on it tho.
Then you can jump in and out at your will.......and keep the treasure still.
Loved it
