in the box
Here in the box I sit I am no longer part of the world
The walls block my view of the demons, so I cannot be afraid.
I feel protected in this little space of mine
No one else can enter
I can be anything I choose
Say anything I wish to speak
Laugh or cry whenever I wish
At whatever strikes the mood
I feel happy and safe that no one can hurt me anymore
Now that I am in the box
No matter what they say or do I will not be affected by it
Because they cannot see me
If they wanted to see me they could look inside
But no one ever really bothers
I am not worth their time, and I never will be.
I am not as happy as I used to be.
No one ever looks in my box to see me anymore
I really wish they would
But they don’t.
It's getting really lonely now...
The light from the opening is getting rather annoying
So I closed the lid. The hole where my light shone through is gone
I am now in absolute darkness. If anyone wanted to see in my box, they can’t now
Because now I won’t let them
The lid will stay shut forever unless I find someone anxious enough to look
My box is totally dark now, and I no longer hear life outside.
The lid completely shut everything out. My emotions, my motivation, my life
All I ever do now is sit and stare, in the box I stare, and in the box I sit.
