A GIRL MANNEQUIN

A GIRL MANNEQUIN

One day
My selfish heart
And me
Went a wandering
Down the lane
Of feels...

We found emotions 
Amazing...
My heart grabbed
Onto love...
Tightly it held it
And told my head
To not think!

"Let me feel!" 
My selfish 
Heart exclaimed 
"Let me revel in the
Same!"
It said without
Restraint...

I thought I was
Afloat
With my head 
Upside down
And my heart in my
Thtoat!

Like a sweet  
And pretty balloon
Up and hugher
I went
Until suddenly 
A bird with 
A beak so sharp
Me, pecked...

Wooosh...I burst
Open
And elastic like
Slid down to
The ground...
On my feet again
I continued my 
Walk about...

My selfish heart 
Beat very slowly 
Just as my thoughtless 
Mind, ceased thinking!

Just a girl I 
Knew I was...

The lane of feels
Was never for me
I am girl mannequin...!
