My box

by Leigh - Not entered

I am in this box
My world this box
And I'm clawing and scratching my way out
But I get nowhere
My world lies in this box
A dark dim world
The sun shines on the outside
But the walls of the box are so dirty 
No light comes in
I want out but all I can see is the knife shing on the table
I want, want so bad to get out
but I can't bring myself to grasp the crooked handle of the knife
So I claw and I scratch
Trying to let the light in
But the dark days are conquering my mind
And someday I'll bring myself to grasp the crooked handle of th knife on the table,
And maybe
I'll cut

Reason for writing:

    Because it descibes how I feel sometimes when I'm down..
