Think Inside The Box

What they say she no longer hears

By now she has learnt to lock her ears

The hinges in her neck a nodding reflex

The light ahead, her bright future

Timetables, routines all there to teach her

To conform “outside the box”

Nobody heeds to look inside

The world within that does reside

As she quietly slips into her chest

The trees are blue

There’s yellow water

The houses flew

What does it matter

She draws the stars

She goes to sea

She casts a spell

She writes a song

There is no rhyme

There is no reason

With it she is aloft

Her sore mind is soothe

The thorns are soft

The bumps are smooth

And yet again its locked away

The magic inside the box will stay

For she has to search outside

They tell her she will excel

If diversions she does expel

But she knows better

Now and then a glimpse she’ll share

Only if with her you dare

Think inside the box
