Her Box

 Every single time she leaves her box and has a sliver of hope that it might finally be her turn, something happens and that sliver of hope turns out to be sharp. 

This is why she stays in a box. 

Every time it ends, she puts herself back in her box. 

Every time, she gives away a part of herself, and eventually, the inside of the box will be more space and air than it will be parts of her. 

She gives and she is stolen from and she is so tired. 

She wants to know what she did to deserve all of this.
