Description Why do I hide every present emotion
Am I afraid of the unknown
Or am I just a weak little girl
afraid to hold her own?
Is there some specific reason I'm still here
Because I'm not getting this any more
I smile...but inside I cry
Always behind a locked door
Why don't I come clean and confess what I feel
I mean what's the worse that could happen right?
I guess I could be looked down upon
Perhaps be thrown away never again to see the light
I'm left confined in the cell that I locked myself into
All because I'm afraid of what you will think
What you will say if I told you
and now I teeter on the brink
As I grow smaller, from the pressure and stress
I see that somehow I will never confess
I wouldn't say something even if I were in the utmost distress
because nobody else is supposed to be involved with this mess

I can totally relate. I've also started to try and unlock the door, but it just keeps getting slammed in my face over and over again. Good poem, really.

you are forever my friend
but i'm afraid i've reached my end
in this cardboard thing, im stuck
it's so breakable like me, fuck
i'll always look at the world from outside in
but i lie to who i am within
I see their worlds and who they are
Yet to myself i've run afar
I've cried, lied, but mostly ignored
i wish i coulda helped myself before
Six feet under lies the truth
to never be brought about in my youth
For i am gone now, don't you cry
I have lived nothing but a lie

I've just recently started to slowly open the box but every week it seems to slam shut on my fingers just as a manage to get them out.
