Photographs

Can I burn the photographs?

The pretty pictures of the pretty people

Staring right at me without blinking

Telling me where I should be


Can I destroy the photographs?

I look at them and look at me

And remind myself of the monstrosity

That has now become me


Can I tear the photographs?

The frozen eyes are haunting me

They lure me in, then push me out

Shouting at me my place


Can I join the photographs?

The amazing people in the right time

Where I should be but am not

I'm stuck in this crap reality


They smile at me from the wall

They want me to join them

But I want to rip them

They tell me where I should be

Where I should but cannot be


But I love them too much

To rip them to shreds

So I'm stuck with the torture

Of being locked in a cage

Away from the photographs
