I'm trapped in a box with invisible walls
And I can't seem to find my way out
Nobody outside can hear me
And I don't have the courage to shout
My feelings are trapped in here with me
Although I would like them to go
I've begged them to give up and leave me
Evidently they don't want to know
So instead I just sit here and simmer
Marinating in my own despair
Enclosed in a prison created
By boundaries that aren't even there
The people I meet cannot see me
Though I'm longing to show them I'm there
So I hide my true feelings from vision
Then convince myself they just don't care
I hope one day someone will see me
Through the walls that embody my sham
And realise what they were beholding
Was a fraction of all that I am
I want someone to reach in and find me
And bring out who I know I can be
But I realise deep down inside me
That I am the one with the key

Hi Laura,
I love this one, it is beautiful. The other one about exams was good but it was so long ago I did any, I couldn’t quite connect.
