Poems
Sep 2015
The Box
stuck in his box
with no way out
frustration with life
he began to shout
where is my freedom
the walls he'd scrape
again raising his voice
he would beg escape
let me out he cried
give me new things to learn
variety is calling
and inside I do burn
the box holds me prisoner
with no way to move on
I long for that place
where knowledge will spawn
someone please help
come show me the way
I know I'll learn quickly
if you'll but teach me to play
it's joy that I seek
not the four walls of this box
help me open my mind
bring the keys to the locks
