Boxed In

When a Dreamer meets Insomnia: Poems from a first gen Unafraid to pick up a pen
How many boxes
Do I need to
Check
To get out of this
Box?
Country got us
Boxed in
With no beat
Left to fend for self
Left to own
The boxes checked
Left to get othered by
The boxes unchecked
Left to get smart
Enough
To think outside
The box
Left to get big
Enough
To shake up
The box
Left to catch
Her own beat
Inside the box
Unwilling to stay
Boxed in
Left to find joy
Despite that box
