boxes all kinds of boxes
but the ones you want most
they keep on the top shelf
just out of your reach
no matter how hard
you try to please them
well that’s what they will tell you
& if you want
go on & believe it
let the words hold you down
the better part is remembering
all the other words they used
you were broken
could never be fixed
would amount to nothing
your kind don’t fit
& all these
are but hurdles to leap over
not to show them wrong
but for you
to know them wrong
