In a Snow Globe

Leave your little round world,
Leave the fake snow,
Leave those people,
 who turn you upside down,
Who think you are just a statue.
 
A snow globe,
Water inside,
White round objects,
Plastic little houses,
And you are standing
With your white dress,
Waiting for someone who
Glimpses through your transparent prison,
Who gives you an earthquake as a gift,
Puts you on the shelf
 And then leaves.
 
Is that what you are waiting for?
You don’t have the chance to swim!
You don’t have the chance to touch the truth!
Stop being a statue!!
Stop making others believe
That whatever they do
Will never hurt you,
Stop hiding your tears
Inside a curtain of waters…..
 
Glass should be broken,
Water should be spilt,
Tears should be streaming,
Their drops should appear,
Hot on you cheeks
Salty on your lips
Sugary in your heart…

Wow Omneya! This IS a lovely write! I love the way you've used the snow globe to illustrate the hidden emotions of one who'd rather hide. Nicely done!
