My box

9 1 0
                                    

I am trapped
In a small room
Five feet tall
Five feet wide
It is dark
It is quiet
There is no way out
But that is okay
I will stay here
Because somewhere
There is someone
In another box
That is three feet wide
And three feet tall
Their box is smaller than mine
Darker than mine
Quieter than mine
They have things worse than I do
So
I will stay in my box
And be happy for what I have
And hope that my box
Will one day open.
