My Beautiful Box
My beautiful box
My gift to the world
all of the ribbons are perfectly twirled
My beautiful box
looks so fun when you see it, it brings on laughter
only to make everyone's day a little bit brighter
My beautiful box
that's all covered in glitter and topped with a bow
you'd never guess I live inside, the only part that doesn't show
Inside my box
I snuggle with anger and fight with regret
No one knows the real me because we've never met
Inside my box
The walls are covered in black and the floor is as cold as snow
The only light that enters is from a small hole
The problem is there's no room for me to grow
Inside my box
There's no room for thoughts, I use the box as my guide
And only show the world what's on the outside
