Eternal Lonliness: Jack In the Box

Manufactured: 5/16/67. I was the product of a destructive time, so I sat and watched the walls cave in until I was trapped inside it. I've never asked to be who I am but never thought I would hate it this much. The minutes and hours and days and months and years and decades that pass before anything really happens, so I just sit, sit there and watch the walls. There's nothing I can do really, and it's been so long that I've forgotten how the outside world looks like. The glorious days of my youth are long behind me. The playful years of my past. Now only the walls sit in front of me. It stares right through me and occasionally gives me the smirk of a devil child. Have you seen a devil child before? I didn't think so.
Yeah I put on a smile and an occasional chuckle but does that mean that I'm happy or even content? Hell no, and don't listen if someone tells you otherwise. I'm a confused being underneath all the colorful exterior and the chimes of the wind up. And that really bothers me. No, not the wind up but the misinterpretation of my presentation. I look one way, yes, but does that make me so? A man in a gorilla suit, is he really a gorilla? No, he's just a man inside a gorilla suit.
So I pop my head out my box and give a good chuckle and laugh to amuse you but does anyone feel my pain? The reality of it is, my existence many times seem meaningless. Okay, enough with the pity, let's get down to business. I popped my head for the last time. I'm demanding that you cut my wires and release me from this spring attached to my bottom. I've got too much to see and not enough time on my expiration date. The expiration date is the date they'll put me to sleep and that's not enough time. I've mapped it all out, the shores and coastlines to the exotic destinations I've always wanted to see.

:(you said no): and that really hurts. The years I've been in here, only trying to please you and only you. So now I've got to sit, sit and stare at the walls again. Why can't you just let me go? It's lonely in here.
