My Own Spoken World

 

I have encased myself within  my own domain...

 

A mute success within realities eyes....

 

I am a hollow mold inside

a wall of curtain mirrors,

reflecting a silent scream

of desired strength.

 

I travel in neutral gear,
upon a clone's conveyor belt.

 

The misfit of failure...

 

The banished outcast...

 

My soul breathes alone,

within the rules to survive,
a mass of skin...

 

A nobody...

with broken string...

 

A recluse within a creator's hold,

to dis-obey a society walk,

no longer tied for a puppeteer

to control or pull.

 

I am a faceless life within my own spoken world.

Author notes

'Excuse the mess, I didn't see you from behind
I caught a glimpse, but the reflection's only mine
It's almost like I'm paralyzed and locked outside myself
What I don't need is to concede because I won't be someone else
I am not perfect and I don't claim to be...'

    Such a very creative and well conveyed interpretation of quote chosen. There is always a moment, where we lose ourselves; our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. If only a lapse of an uncertain tide. To become that vulnerable wreck of the day, and then - let it go. Thank you so much for your entry & Best wishes in the contest!
