Freedom

I continue to circle this box searching for the light. Round and round I ago Is it day or is it night? I've built this empire and worked so hard. I'm the face of the people Aren't you proud? Thank you! Thank you! The box just opened. I was starting to get weak and slowly so broken. Nobody can live secluded this way. I don't care how strong you'll start to pray. On your knees, hands to the sky Begging for reasons you've been stuck here, Why? So that I can breathe and stretch my legs, what should I do, I beg and beg. It seems there is a plan for me to follow Yet no instructions I'm lost and hollow. I'm famous, its nice but sometimes quiet scary. When I'm recognized I need to be carried. Yet I can not complain I've become part of your life I hope when you see me I don't bring you strife. Maybe I should settle down Marry a beauty, Its no fun to sail alone Life has hard duties. Better with a partner Friends hand and hand Always there to cheer you on Making life more grand. (for Jack out of the box contest)

Rhyme is definitely not a stretch for you kristen, so it doesn't fit the contest> IT IS a good poem. Try a Shakespearian sonnet 10 syllables per line, 14 lines with end rhyme look on ehow.com for a good explanation.
