the people are rushing to the places
all around me
bustling by
the busy noises of the city ring in my ears
here i am
in the middle of it all
gone unnoticed
i question my own existence
as i do everything i can to be seen by someone
by anyone
but it seems i am like a character in a silent film
my world is painted in black and white
my lips are sealed shut
i cannot say a word
i play the part
i do as i am told
my gown flows in the wind as i dance
like a ballerina hidden behind a cage of glass
you can look but you must never touch
what a sad world that must be
