I'm in a Box

I'm in a box

and I can't get out.

I'm stuck in here,

because of doubt.


My thoughts are out there in the world -

but I can't get to them.

Like a doll upon a shelf,

I'm. Locked. In.


I bang on the ceiling,

and the sides,

but no one seems to hear

any of my cries!


I feel a little

like a mime -

but I'm not doing dances

for a dime.


Why did they put me here you ask?

That I cannot see.

So I just sit here in my cardboard prison,

waiting to be set free.
