Put me in a box

Give me thirty seconds

I promise I won’t be reckless

And keyless, I will break all the locks


There are no boundaries

That I can’t escape

I am my very own foundry

Twisting life, which seems unchangeable into a new shape


My key is my brain

My thoughts bubbling to the surface

Each with a presence of purpose

Giving me guidance that I can’t explain


Unstoppable I may be

But not perfect

There are things even I cannot see

Moments where fate intersects


Them, still they don’t see

Blinded by a clear barrier that stops them in their tracks

Living with the knowledge that I’m not free

From the past that keeps being brought back


How can we move on

When people are still living in the past

I get your traditionalist beliefs

But I don’t get the way that you express them


Don’t go, they say

Don’t go farther than we

I’m always limited by them in some way

And now, suffocating underneath the debris
