Box

I’m boxed in
4 walls surround me
I can’t breathe
I feel suffocated
Scream
I can’t scream
My tears hit the floor
Can you hear them?
The pain from within
I’m boxed in
Pressed from all sides
I try to push my way out
I give up
Destroy the roof off my dreams
Crushed
Pressed
Not my dreams anymore
I give up
I surrender
Your ways are way better
Break the box minded mentality
Squeeze me until there’s nothing left
Break me down
Build me back up
To be
All I was meant to be
Free
Free from all the deception
Free from the lies
Give me truth
Til I see
Who I really am
Me
