Cardboard Protest
You’ve peeled off
the label
And
Want to stick
It on me
Reduced, damaged
Used goods
With no
Guarantee
Label edges
Curling
Barcode won’t
Scan
Adhesive
Worn
From
The repeated
Swipe
Of your nob
On the
Backside
Of porn
You won’t
Shut the
Lid
On this
Cardboard
Box
That
You've put
Me In
Fucking
Let me out
Now
I’m suffocating
And getting
Thin
Grab your
Marker pen
And unfold
Your empty
Cardboard box
Gaud me with
Your protest
Taped to a stick
And scream
In my face
If you so wish
Your label
Won’t stick
And your box
Will not close
And there is
Nothing left
For you to
Hold
Except
Your
Cardboard
Protest
Taped to a stick

Good topic well done. Would you consider joining some lines together for slightly easier reading and following your ideas more closely - only asking?
