The Chest is a poem in the vein of discovering self. If you know what you will discover, will you open it?

There are twelve stanzas of four lines each. The lines rhyme ABAB and every line is 6 syllables. Every stanzas first line (each of the twelve) starts with "the chest", and the meter is "dah DUM dah dah dah DUM" for every line. The stanzas have been separated into three groups. The first grouping of stanzas introduces the chest, the second grouping defines/assigns the chest, and the third grouping provides the conundrum/riddle of the chest.

In the structure of twelve stanzas each has been maintained as twelve chapter breaks, but each stanza has had its lines split-apart in order to preserve the intent (the pacing) of each line, and thus each line may be given its own page; there may be instances, however, where managing the evolution of the poem in your mind, some lines have been split into multiple pages, or, multiple lines of a stanza remain on the same page (making it so a chapter is not necessarily equal to the count of lines of a stanza).
