Born Inside a Metal Box

Born inside a metal box
I wrestle with the steel-made locks
I'm suffocating
I cannot breathe
Help me GOD
Help me please

I'm banging the walls
I'm yelling out loud
They watch as I suffer
They surround
And, they crowd

I scream for a chance
I beg for some mercy
But, they've tied me down
They've chained and they've cursed me

I'm stuck by myself
I'm here all alone
And, I just can't break through
These walls
Made of stone!

I feel I am caged
As I scream in pure shock
And, I pull
And, I yank
And, try to undo this lock!

I pound on the walls
I shout for some help
Please help me GOD!
Please get me OUT!

But, nobody can hear me
Nobody can help
Nobody can save me
Nobody will get me out

The voices surround me
They gather-
They stare
They whisper
They giggle
As I scream
And, I glare!

I struggle
I fight
I punch
And, I kick
As my stomach is churning
Now I feel sick

But, what I now see
What I now know?
I just can't accept it
So I don't let it show

But, I do know deep down
What my problem, it is
Thsi box that I'm stuck in?
That I'm stuck living with?

What I finally realize
Just in the nick of time
That this box that I'm stuck in? -
This box is my mind.
