This box is my home

I don't like it very much

It is too small

And too conformed.

This box

I have been placed in this box.

This suffocating box that forces me to do everything I don't want

Forces me to look the same

Forces me to act the same

One day this box will drive me insane

That day might be today.

This box is simply fictional 

But it is as strong as steel

This box can feel unbreakable

In this box, how can I heal?

The box I am forced to be in

Will one day give way 

But until this

This box is my home

The box in which I must stay.

Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in a box. Like society is trying to force me to be someone I am not.
