Walking Around

| x...Dots...x Second Heartbeat Age: 21 Gender: Female Posts: 93 | So I finally got the guts to post one of my poems. Walking Around It happens I am tired of being a teen I am pushed into the factory and then to the outside world Stripped of my feelings, made inhuman like a cardboard box Being packaged and shipped to shelves across the nation The sing-song of the gossiping machines makes me scream I want nothing but to dismember every production line No more buyer's beware, small print, fine print or side effects It happens I am tired of my nametag, my wrapper And my pre-picked box It happens I am tired of being a teen All the same it would be lovely To scare the conveyer belt Right from its wheels Or knock away All wrench clenching hands To hop off the factory line Cause a rebellion, total and complete chaos I do not want to go on Being a labeled box Thought to be no deeper Than a simple label that has been stamped on to me I do not want to go on Being a clear cut blue and white Name tag Having no feelings no aspirations No true identity New models are pushed onto the belt The old models look on With stoic faces and building envy While the factory's employees work hard To try and form these into mini versions Of themselves All their parts are new Shiny Bending the fluorescent lights Blinding the workers I look on angered Perfection can neither be bought nor sold Still I glide along the belt With rising feelings of doubt Slow burning of an identity As the shipping truck approaches Oil cans drip slow tears into the robots being shipped out |

The metaphor which the entire poem uses is soeffective, and it really paints a clear image. You really get an idea into the despair felt by this person. I loved it. You didn't have any reason to doubt your work!! |
