THE BOX

I am enclosed in a box and I can’t break through. Though this box was made of paper, I can’t seem to have the strength to break free. Maybe I never tried or maybe I am used to it.
My parents, since I am their first child,
handled me with utmost precaution, imposed the whatnots of life and isolated me from the influence of childhood. I understand very well that for me to take the right path they have to do those mentioned above and I appreciate all the things they did. As far as I know, I took the right path. I grew up to be a responsible person. They taught me the art of practicality and the law of hard work but not the skill of communication.
I am afraid to let anyone in my circle because I’m used to be alone. Except for my classmates in school, I have difficulty in reaching out to other people. I seem to struggle when starting a conversation with a stranger. I seldom talk to my relatives, even when they’re just a few blocks away. I never visit them and see what they’re up to lately. That’s why even if they’re related to me; I never really know them at all.
I don’t want to be like this anymore but I am afraid of what they have to say. I want to escape from this box but I can’t do this on my own.
