Out Of The Box

I have been here for long
Since I was young

Surrounded by people I love dearly
But now I want to wonder freely

We've been trapped in this box
Although no one sees it that way but me
There are no locks
No one wants to explore but me

We have lots of rules here
That we created
They are awkward for me
I feel manipulated

There is some kind of fear
Of leaving the box
Fear of letting go
Fear of anything we don't know

These rules are suffocating
And am too tired of the happiness I am faking

I announced my departure
They held on tighter
Calling me names
Cause I was a fighter

I didn't fight them back
It took me time
But one finger at a time I took of my back
They didn't notice
Still busy adding rules
Ignoring what they lack

I flew outside through a window
I was met with a beautiful rainbow
For a moment I was scared of being free
Hiding myself behind a tree

I can't see any boundaries
I can't see any doors
I can't see any leaders
And for sure there were no laws

Is this right? It seems wrong
I am defying them the rules in the box
But I also don't feel lost
