Plastic boxes.

You think that maybe I'd be used to them by now.

I mean, since, someone's always trying to shove me into one.

Society.

Friends.

Enemies.

Jock boxes,

Nerd boxes,

Snob boxes,

The possibilities see no limits.

Well, I'm tired of them.

I try to break out,

Force some cracks in these soul-confining walls,

But I collapse in despair as

These boxes

Just fold in on themselves.

I slide down the smooth side,

Choking, gasping for air,

And clutch my throat as I inch down.

I'm suffocating.

I guess there's no escaping now.
