Outside the Box

I'm going to
cut me up in
little tiny pieces
small enough to
fit into the box
the world has for me
Close the lid and
hide me in darkness
for a hundred years
     or so
take me out and
piece me back together again.
Is it all you expected
wasted talent
youth ignored
happiness usurped
for responsibility
and all I ever wanted
was to smile in the sun
and be noticed.
