I live in this box of pain Nothing to see or feel Embraced by sanctity, driven by sorrow Enclosed inside by life's uncertainties Taken out of society by guilt and solitude You say I am broken, battered and confused but it is you, the normals of mankind You do not set the rules of what is right or wrong You do not tell me I am the idiot one For you are not the ruler of lives For you do not control my thoughts For you will not get inside me For you are not a human being My pain does not come from any one thing It is a multitude of uncontrollable events Events that impact my life not yours Unseized pressure from the unconscious world Pressure that places the horror of the world in front of us all Placed there by you and society's real crazies This box of pain will not control me I will open it and be stronger than you

Box of Pain
I live in this box of pain Nothing to see or feel Embraced by sanctity, driven by sorrow Enclosed inside by life's uncertainties Taken out of society by guilt and solitude You say I am broken, battered and confused but it is you, the normals of mankind You do not set the rules of what is right or wrong You do not tell me I am the idiot one For you are not the ruler of lives For you do not control my thoughts For you will not get inside me For you are not a human being My pain does not come from any one thing It is a multitude of uncontrollable events Events that impact my life not yours Unseized pressure from the unconscious world Pressure that places the horror of the world in front of us all Placed there by you and society's real crazies This box of pain will not control me I will open it and be stronger than you
Looking out into this crazy world and seeing who is the real crazy ones
