The box.


I wish I knew the story of the person lying next to me. situation the same place the same position the same bed the same But no introductions. 2 years without communication without a simple How did you end up in here? Who did you leave behind? Or did someone leave you behind? no, too personal. But no talking. 2 years without talking to anyone Trapped in a box. Most travel to the north but I I was trapped here in this box, if you will. It’s my fault. My fault for not listening to her for not paying attention to her orders for not staying inside when she asked me for not falling to the ground fast enough for not surviving. Because of this, I am trapped in a box. Alone. With a hole in the back of my head and no one to talk to about it.
