Boxed


I stay still in my box 

When I leave I'm reminded of why I ever isolated

I imagine a good day 

sometimes I even try at it

but then there's that reminder 

telling me I should never come out 

I'm comfortable with me so I refuse the words

but choosing to hear it I cannot accept

i am me always 

but I me and more

i am silent and peaceful 

in my box
