Jack In The Box
Four sides
Just walls
Secluded space
I feel small-
In an everlasting moment of silence
That ive confused with peace
And a stimulating objectification of things
Make me feel less pleased
And when the hour strikes just right
I let my sad melody play
And jump right out of my small box
To put my friends feelings at bay.
They pour out their thoughts
And project their voice
They mumble worrysome words
And say its okay
Then once again like always,
Put me in my box away.
Pitter patter
It must be the rain
But yet again-
Just their tears wanting me to stay
And lonseome calls
And silent sniffles
Harsh communication
And problems that triple.
Wind up then
And wind up now
With my sad melody
Once again bound
Like a shirt with buttons
I hold things together
Even if this role of mine
Doesnt bring me even the slightest
Bit of pleasure.
