“Feeling Boxed: The Box I’m Learning to Break”

Feeling boxed in, nowhere to turn,

Tears flow, love does burn.

Escape, wheels turn but not by me,

Gone every day, I can’t run, you see.

Need to find an escape from here;

Got to stop shedding every tear.

God, hold my hand; I need you;

You’re my life saver that keeps me true.

I am a sad wife who lives with strife,

Which makes it hard to be a loving wife.

Feeling closed in, like a child victimized,

Never being me, always being criticized.

Never doing things perfectly right,

Yet, it’s not worth a senseless fight.

Words said can hurt and don’t go away;

Hiding feelings that don’t go astray.

God, Jesus, I’m glad you love me;

I am writing to you so that I can feel free.

With you in my heart, I’m not boxed in.

With your love, I will win, not sin.

You have a plan for me; the fire will go out;

The box will break, and that day I will surely shout…

Thank you!
