Glazed over eyes
Peering out.
This strange place
I’ve never seen
But I’ve been here before.
Broken and ragged
You have made me.
Body smeared with your filthy lies.
Never thought anyone noticed.
Look around.
See the rag doll,
Me.
On a reversed carousel,
World spins in quick consistency.
Frozen I stand.
This world abandoned.
Kindergarten laughter bounces off the broken brick walls.
Don’t know how I got here
But I can tell you everything
From behind empty sockets.
In my lost world I’ll be.
The psychological Atlantis
You set up for me.
Took my shoes
So I can’t run.
Broken and ragged
You have made me.
Body smeared with your filthy lies.
Never thought anyone noticed.
Look around.
See the rag doll,
Me.
Look hard past the picture frame.
See the makeshift smile you thought was real.
Material I have much.
Lies,
You gave me many,
Truth I thirst for.
Truth to sustain me,
Truth needed to find me.
