Boxed In

Slowly I comprehend

What limits me—

These thoughts

The rules I have

Created,

Learned,

Absorbed.

 

Rigid lines I draw

Around myself,

My life—

Boxed in,

Drowning in a

Well,

My own creation

Limits

Confines

Destroys

Me.

Fear

I feel the fear again,

In knots–

Twisted, burning,

Panic.

Your past is still

Unclear

Our future still a question

But the fear–

Always pushes through,

Causes despair,

Makes me want to run

And hide somewhere

To shield myself,

My heart,

But loneliness is not a friend–

A foe.
