[bodytext] => Four walls surround this little box The sky is hidden as is the ground No windows to let in life's sound No seams or corners in this my world You can pace from end to end Never bump into a living thing There's no music to help one sing No pictures to enrich a tired mind Positive a door exists somewhere I hear the quiet persistent knock Is there even a key that fits the lock Fearful I'll never find the way out This box that holds me tight within Can't locate a break in the solid frame No clues invade to help end this game Is this all that is left in life for me Sit in the middle, arms hugging knees Crying out to the silence that closes in Please, there has to be a way to begin Knocking down these claustrophobic walls Wait, is that a sliver of light peeking in Could it be that my words broke through All I need is to be truly accepted by you Is this the answer to the freedom of a soul So much wasted time locked in this box No one hearing or seeing that I'm here Find the courage to break through my fear I've had enough of this stupid little box [comments] => 2 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 75 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )
