Fitting In

 Fitting in. 

Why do I keep trying to "fit in"? 

To stay in a box...

Is Entrapment. 

Is Torture.

I feel so lonely outside the Box.

Isolated and Alone. 

Can I use my phone? 

To call a lifeline? 

Ah...I know. 

Wait.

There are other people outside the box, too. 

You, and you, and you. 

I'm sorry that I tried to trap us there, in that space. 

Let me not erase your unique experience of identity. 

Woe to me

And to everyone else 

Trying to fit in a box.
