I Will Not Drown In Your Box

By CafeAuLait9185

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I'll poke holes in your walls, For I may be caged-- But I can still BREATHE And you can never stop me. Long after my body dies, My heart will still PULSE. The sound of drums Will deafen your ears. And so, the beat will go on, Although drowned by the tears That fill this sad place. I SWIM from the boundaries, Away from your petty rules. Not only can I Think outside the box-- I AM outside the box. I am UNRESTRAINED. These are your tears, Not mine! Consider me gone already. Gone by choice, Not by chance! I'll see you later.The last line doesn't set right with me... any ideas? Written October 19th, 2001 © on Oct 22 2001 06:10 AM PST   0 • 10
