i am trapped inside a box
repeating my actions constantly.
all in a twist of a button,
and i do as i am told.
i don't even have a choice.
i have to stay in this box
and do what i'm supposed to do.
i wish i had a word.
i wish i could decide on my own.
i wish i was me,
i wish i could make my own decisions,
i don't like being a ballerina jewellery box.
