Fall in love or fall in hate; Get inspired or be depressed; Ace a test or flunk a class; Make babies or make art; Speak the truth or lie and cheat; Dance on tables or sit in the corner; Life is divine chaos. Embrace it. Breathe. And enjoy the ride...

She just wants to be free
Doesnt everybody?
Free of fear
Free of care
Free of brushing her hair
This box shes trapped in does her no good
She just wants to be understood
So out she climbs
Ahead of time
Th first to break away
From this travesty of a monet
High up shes jumps
And yells out for joy
Back down she thumps
And ends this ploy

I like how you used the box and the girl climbing out of it. Okay, I'm confused at what definition of ploy you're using here...?
