you  are  in  your  room  at  night, 
you  have  a  box  in  that  room 
it  is  not  enormous  but  big 
not  that  new  but  still  dusty 
not  much  fancy  but  still  pretty 

you  look  at  it,  but  it  is  not  clear 
you  don't  even  remember 
what  did  you  put  inside 
how  will  you  open  it 
because  it  is  locked 
you  don't  know  
how  to  lift  
cause  it  is 
 tough 

there  are  two  notes  on  the  box 

the first  one:
"Don't  stop  to  improve 
yourself  on  learning
something  new."

then  you  read  the  other: 
"Dreams  of   me  when  I  was  five."
