Cubicle

It's about living a life restricted.

I live in a box

 

Cut off from the outside

Torn up on the inside

Longing to be greater

Than simplistic verses

and selling out.

 

I live in a box

 

Crammed full of papers

Filled with the ideas

I forgot to share

Along the way.

 

I live in a box

 

Free form and Free falling

But never truly Free,

Jaywalking on a dime.

 

I live in a box

 

Feigning carefree

But scared to death of the outside.

 

I live in a box

I liked this one the best and it is so true, we all do live in a box. We all live in our own little bubbly surroundings, but never really bother to venture out - well I don't anyway !

I liked the first two lines especially:
Cut off from the outside
Torn up on the inside

Because cut and torn can have the same meaning, yet they are paired with their opposites "outside and inside". I think that's an oxymoron - not quite sure though.

Definitely one of my favourites, I think it was fantastic and you did a good job of depicting a sense of liberty but at the same time, vulnerability of the person who are shut off from the entire world. Well done!

I liked this...however it sounded as if you were depressed in this poem...or maybe I read it wrong...Nice job...
