They say think outside of the box. 

But what if you were never in the box.

I walk around the perimeter of the box

Hoping and wishing I could join

They laugh

They joke

All I want is to join in

To feel included

They try to include me, I know

But all it does is make feel like they have to babysit me

They have to include me because I'm a 'loner'

Sometimes I go along with them

But other times I just wish that they know what I'm going through

They say that they understand

But do they?

They say how are you

But do they care?

They say have a good day

But do they mean it?

They say they care about me

But do they really?

In the box, I wish I was

Surrounded by 'popular' people

Filled with joy on the outside

But on the inside hating what I'm doing

I will never be in the box

But is that good?
