Thinking Outside The Box

Thinking Outside The Box

So am I miscalculated in this vast world?

As I  tread thru these passageways  in rooms

Full of charades,  pretense Thinking Outside 

The box.

So it's  easier to call me insane? I'm not in

A position  to control anything Thinking 

Outside the box remains.

One can't  breathe,  feeling  suffocated,

Trapped by someone  else's version of I.

Thinking Outside The box.

Christopher Delegans November 23, 2025 at 11:34 AM Powerful contrast between the vast world and the small, suffocating spaces of expectation. Penned very well, Michaela.
