Everyone always says,
"Think outside the box."
But you built the box for a reason.
To keep what needs to stay inside,
Inside,
And what needs to stay outside,
Outside

When people so much as,
Take a board off their box,
And let what should stay inside,
Outside,
And what should stay outside,
Inside,
They talk about feelings,
And they speak the truth.
They are ridiculed,
And laughed at,
And hurt,
Again,
And again,
And again.

Until they build a better box,
To keep what should stay inside,
Inside,
And what should stay outside,
Outside

So how can you think outside the box,
When you know,
That the world will always just,
Force you to build a better box?
