As you beat at the walls of you cell
Do you know that they are your creation?
Your pleas for attention fall on deaf ears
While soutside we go on with our lives
Through laughter, tears, friendship and love
That you betrayed long ago.

The proud smile fades from your face
As I walk aay, shaking my head
And you curl up into yourself
Afraid to admit
Your box is shrinking
