The Case

A bag

Would you dare open it?

No idea what is inside

Maybe it is even ticking

Waiting for the right time

Possibly looking for something to find

Or perhaps it is one of a kind

Even if you looked there would be no knowing what it contains

Maybe it is something better left remain

Likely no use to complain

Nothing that you could gain

Might be better to give it some space

Perhaps leave it in the same place

Better a bad thing not to face

After all this is not a race

It is just the case
