jack in his box

jack
precious jack
who has seen the interior
of the suffocating box
in which you reside
but yourself, jack

would not air be nice, jack
how about coming out, jack
each time you expose yourself
they force you back in, jack
into your box
your comforting home, jack
with the secrets you so long to tell
to those that refuse to listen to you, jack

jack
oh poor jack
beating against the confines
walls that cannot be broken
say what you need to say, jack
