Box

by Natalie Cook   Dec 21, 2005


In my own little box I'm waiting to come out
Trapped in this cage I'm hoping to be found
So many cries I hear and so much pain
Still thinking things will change, but everything is still the same
Trying to survive in this messed up world
It's too much sadness and it makes everything a blur
My dad yells and my brother fights
My mom cries and I hide
My love for these people is fading away
And God knows this so why does the pain still stay?
I really can't wait to get out of this box
Because I feel so apart and feel so very lost
Being musical is the same thing as being me
It's how I get away and express my feelings
When there's music I don't feel alone
But when it's not there I don't even feel known
But right now the music is not here
All there is, is so much pain and the music not coming back is what I fear
So right now I'm trapped in my own little box waiting to come out
Trapped in this cage I'm hoping to be found
Someone please find me in this box I'm held in
Because it is hurting me so much, and I'll never be able to hear the music again
