Box
Box
I used to think I had
a place.
I allowed myself to think I could
create a place for myself.
I deluded myself into thinking I could
make myself valuable.
I did not.
I have not.
I cannot.
My efforts are in vain.
My drive to fit in has failed.
I am an outsider
trapped
within a system,
within a structure,
within a hierarchy.
No way out of the box.
No way to stop
the walls
from shrinking,
from squeezing,
from crushing.
All that I have done.
All that I have been.
All that I am.
