All Boxed Up

I feel like a child sometimes

All boxed up and helpless

Though without crime


In this world of wits

As they call it

I can see as much

Though it's confusing to start with...

And I know I can see more

If only I can be lifted

From this containment


I long to ask questions

But they shut me up- both ways

Like I know not what goes on

Behind these carton walls


I long to break free

And let all the coaxing cease

But no, they bound me here

And they always will

Insist I'm just a child

All boxed up and nothing to do
