Box Me Up

Screaming from inside the box

Box Me Up
Box me up, neat and small,
Seal my pieces, hide them all.
Tape my heart beneath the lid,
Lock away the things I did.

Fold my laughter, fold my cries,
Pack my dreams where darkness lies.
Label me "fragile", warn the world,
Of all the storms inside me curled.

Send me far, or leave me near,
I'll sit silent, wrapped in fear.
But even boxed, I still remain,
A quiet soul behind the pain.
