Mannequin

    • To be set free, but locked away in my own cell of fear

    Mannequin

    In the window looking out
    Into the world that seems so far
    Yet so close there I stand
    Right behind this damn window

    I can't move
    I can't even blink
    In a trance over what I'm missing
    A life that's been slipping away from me

    A life that I once had
    That was me
    The smile on my face
    The color in my personality

    The balance in my feet
    The energy in my heart
    I vaguely remember what that was like
    I'm now locked up in my own demise

    With helping hands that never understood
    I've been forcibly situated in different positions
    To feel mocked and ignored
    Dressed in what i was told

    To be molded into what i was never meant to be
    I have gained the strength to break the plaster
    The wheels that i once was propped on
    I am no longer your mannequin

    I have finally separated from all that killed me
    I am the person I always was
    I am the voice I once lost
    But most of all, I am human

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
