Her soul feels trapped in her own flesh
She has a body that moves
But is that of any use?
She walks, she talks
She laughs, she cries
She cries a river every night
Clutching her blanket tight
The sun rises; Her cheeks dries
It takes her a while
To search for that— one, perfect smile
Not too bright, not too small
Her day moves like a clock on the wall
With a little laugh here,
With a little frown there
Finally, when the day is over
She puts all her pain into the mixer
Pouring it into a long glass
She slurps it quietly, snacking her lips
Like it's the best drink ever.
While watching the moon
Dance to the silent beats of the sky
