My smile was committing suicide
And you came and changed my rope
Into a bow
You took my knife
And turned it to a pen
You took my pain
And turned into a paintbrush
You took my wrist
And made it
My canvas
You took my earth
And made it my room
You collected the stars
And stuck them on the ceiling of my room
You threw the books
Into the fireplace
And said the only books
That matter where the ones were writing now
My canvas consisted only of the short-lived world
Behind my doors
Magic carpet
Of a world
Spun and painted on screen
Of a world
Only experienced
By one
Push of a buttonSucked in the virtual world
Of pixelation
Trapped in a glass screen
On command to bend
And repeat the scripted lines
Of life
Living everything
Through a push of a button
Trapped in a locked door
She escapes
by unlocking the door
She is trapped in the milky way of her thoughts
She lived through the images on the screen
Never fully living
Never fully tasting life
She got to comfortable in living through him
Afraid to take a step out this room
Afraid to turn the knob
And come out of the dark
She was becoming arthritic in her depression
