Life in my box
Is there a world out there?
Outside my little box?
I see the shadows and faces
Images and Silhouettes
But I don't recognize them
I hear voices and cries
In the silence of my room
Calling me out,
Asking to fight
As I try to resist with all my might.
I can't see my fears,
But I know they are there
I'll wait for that moment
When I can strike,
And hit the world with great incise
I must face them someday
And call them out by name,
But that will come eventually.
For now, I will study and talk to nobody
About the things I am planning in my head
So when I go,
I will know
I will have no fear
And I will cry no tears
My strength will be from within
My mind will be clear
And my power strong
My Will and determination will not fail
I am the master of my own fate.
And I predict my future state.

waiting for the phone to ring, ready to die.
The stomach tosses and turns
Where is this place called Dignity
Where is this place called dignity?
There was a time I thought I knew
with certainty,
