The words never seemed to flow like they should

I kept thinking sub-consciously don't write differently

Don't do what's natural to me

My mind kept saying

Stay in the box.

Stay in the box.

Stay in the box.

Stay in the box.

Stay in the box.

DON'T you DARE LEAVE THE BOX

DON'T MOVE OUT OF THE BOX

DON'T DO IT.

STAY IN THE BOX. 

STAY IN THE BOX. 

STAY IN THE BOX.

STAY IN THE BOX.

 STAY IN THE BOX. 

 I just want to be me.

I just want someone to tell me that everything is going to be okay.

So, I stayed in the box until there was no light left, and no way out.

Consumed by the darkness around me it feels like there is no hope left

So what do I do?

I just want to know that I am not alone.

I am suffering

There is no one here.

Nothing is in my control.

Yet everything is in my control.

Choices are mine to make

Why do I let others dictate them for me?

I am still in my box because that's all I know    

My box.
