Chereads / Lethargic Poetry / Chapter 7 - Here in a box

Chapter 7 - Here in a box

Suffocating edges, trapped inside,

I can't breathe in here,

My tears fighting for space, they collide,

They can't all fit on my face, they can't adhere.

This box is getting tighter,

I grow and grow, the box never changing,

My chest isn't getting lighter,

I feel like I'm hanging.

Here in a box I lay,

Huddled with my knees to my chest,

My hair all astray,

I can't seem to rest.

Life whirls it's colors around me,

But I can't see them,

They're all smeared and gray, I'm not free,

This is how it has been,

And how it'll forever be.
