I can't shake this unbearable dread.
Its in my body and racing around my head.
Only I dont know what it is and I dont know where it comes from,
All I know is that my eyes are dull and my life has become numb.
Im a monster in reality.
Look at all I've done to me.
And watch how I've molded these mounds to look how I see and what ill be.
Because I lie. Because I've lied.
And in its wake Im petrified, out of time, in a cry, speak my line, left to dry.
The world has no sympathy, for I've manufactured my own misery.
I hope some day I'll finally be
at peace with whats inside of me.
Until then prick my fingers, pull my hair, tug at my waistline- there is much to spare.
Im your plastic Barbie doll with less a mind if a mind at all.
And in the end you'll find me vacant, pacing ideally, prepared to fall.
Talk to me tender I love your sweet soft voice in the pitch dark palace of my soul.
Beautifully written, love the flow of the poetry it's in the sync with the confused and conflicted mood of the poem.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem with a relaxed rhythm to it.
