Inner workings- “my box”

Thinking outside my box.
Thinking outside my own isolated box. The same box that I have unintentionally put myself in since day one is not easy.
Can I just for one moment be someone else? Please?

Just to get out of my box.
Just to get out of my own way.
My box is my [...]

Thoughts- “fly with me in my dreams”

Rants – death. “my rotting corpse is a flower”

A GOOD death.
Yeah I want that.
What is a good [...]
