Box Fight

I try to box
Myself out of the pain
But instead I get caught
In my brain;
I can’t maintain
My name,
Life is so lame;
People playing childish games,
When they should be ashamed,
Stealing and cheating.
Killing each other, with our actions
And cutting each other with the words,
Coming out of our mouths;
I try to box
Myself out of negativity
But my integrity, won’t let me be
I try to flea inside, because I have a
Wicked side, but I can’t hide
Because my insides have cried so many times,

I try to box myself out of the hurt,
But my heart just burst.
