Windup Toy

By expressodreams

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Lift you up and drop you down It doesn't matter. Stop the clock and leave you there It doesn't matter. Ignore you until you're needed It never mattered. Because you're a windup toy And you can't feel a thing. Endless repetitions of one day Does it matter? Suppress the poetry in my soul Does it matter? Tear out the silver lining of my cloud Oh it matters. Because I'm not a windup toy And I can feel you're pain. Melt down your individuality It should matter. Forget that you exist It should matter. Leave your thoughts to die It will matter. Because you don't have to be a windup toy And you can feel your life. Written August 25th, 2001 © on Aug 25 2001 02:04 PM PST   0 • 9
