trapped

She had been unknowingly shut herself inside a box with little to no knowledge of how to escape. The box had been built for her by her siblings who came before her. The idea was set she just had to fit. This issue was, that they were all different, but she was determined to fit. She tried and tried and tried until the box broke. She was devastated because her whole life she thought this box was what she was meant to do. She was meant to fit in the box until she wasn't. She had outgrown the box and while scary it came with so many different experiences for her. She found her true self. But now and then she thinks back to her old box, the box she lived safely inside her whole life, for now, she felt exposed, in danger. She wished every day that she could go back into the box and make herself fit. Force it. And even in reflection, knowing that it is for the best. She still wishes, on sad and lonely nights, that she fit. That she belonged.
