My Narrow Escape from Life Inside a Box
I dreamed of you last night,
This time it was her heart
You broke, not mine, and I
I no longer wanted you,
Did I still love you?
Yes, that much remained
But you, you were tainted, and I
I no longer trusted you,
Were you ever true? Or
Was I an escape, a reprieve
From a box guilt and
Religion chose for you?
How strange it was to see you
The man I once esteemed,
Now stuck…inside that box,
The same box I once climbed into,
I laugh at the reality, You
Always were so different, Content
To follow rules society, the church
Dictated, A life I could never live,
Thank you for “discarding” me…
I am free, free to thrive
While you remain… Forever
Tucked inside your box.
