Do you know why you're here?why you have to stay?

Say something. All I wanna do is help. I can't do that unless you let me in.

  Let me in? I've heard the one. Couch after couch I've sat  on only to be left empty handed. "Let me in" they say. " Let me help you" well you my friend are lucky contestant 4.

My box of secrets is what you truly desire from me. To know why I did it. To know why I cry with no emotion or sound. To know if I'll do it again.

Don't worry as soon as I leave I'll do it again. Only this time I won't get caught. I won't make a sound or cry. I won't tell anyone if only to never end up in the room again.
