they put me in a box and i want to get out

"let me go!" i scream

but the lid is too tight
 

they put me in a box but i'm too big to fit

it's hurting my head

and it's pinching my skin
 

it's amazing

how things that once were nothings

can shine so brilliantly in the sky

to be admired simply for existing

it must be lonely up there

to attract such attention

yet remain unnoticed

It's too hot

and it's too humid

and I'm awake too early

and I miss my home

My bunk bed is lopsided

and we let mosquitoes into the cabin

and the showers are dirty

and my socks are wet

I don't like to think about the future

For the future feels final.

The future feels like a goal everyone is working towards

That none have arrived at

And none ever will.

What a shame-

that our world shows us such kindness,

and we turn around and stab her in the back.

We don't deserve her.

Traitors: that's what we are,

to overlook the life she brings
