Box me in

  Throw away the key.

  That’s the saying right?

  Can an innocent ask to be locked away?

  For this world is scary.

  So lock me away

  And be glad that I have the sense to hide

  For a coward is a survivor

  And there should be no shame in it.

  So lock me away.

  I fear confidence.

  Because it calls me to do the one thing I won’t

  I can’t

  Be me in a scary place

  Out in the open.
