In

In

A Poem by look.both.ways

I'm in my box.

I didn't want to go in,

but you won't let me out.

I don't want to stay in,

but I won't survive if I'm out.


You told me it was safe.

I don't have to stay in,

you told me I could leave.

I could just give myself away.

Not be me anymore.

Then I would be allowed to leave.


I want to leave,

but only screams come from outside my box.

The cries of the hurt and the broken.

You did that.

You're sick, keeping me in.

Just let me leave, please.


I don't want to be in anymore.

I'll give it up.

I won't cry or bruise.

Just so I don't have to stay in my box anymore.

I'll be gone and never come back.

You won't see me again.

As long as I'm not in.


So I let him in.

To get out.

I let him take me away,

so I can leave.

He took my box, and broke it.

I was still inside.


Now I am broken.

Now I can hear my screams.

I should have stayed in my box,

but I won't go back in.

Very clever writing .What I get it from your words. You was not free and someone try helping you. But he or she did in cruel way and something is now broke inside of you. Very strong and powerful writing i can see here. Well done.
