Thinking Outside of the Box-Buzzwords

"Thinking outside of the box keeps you from suffocating inside of one."Matshona Dhliwayo
Thinking Outside Of The Box-buzzwords

The four tall walls
Suffocate me.
I can no longer,
Breathe.

I kick and scream and cry
I need the light
Please, I beg.
Oh, I beg.

Rocking in the corner, 
I see the light I so crave
I run and run and run
Never looking back again

Once the light is hitting every part of me
Only then I realized 
I'm outside of the box
And the four tall walls collapsed to nothing
