Milk Maid

I used to fantasize
About being merry, 
with my own private
Tree I grew
in my own excitement. 

Tradition was indeed
a culture onto its own. 

But now I run so fast, 
Away from the light
and we've become
Robots and so unkind. 

Numb, and like a
mannequin you place
Yourself in a coven
with no protection. 

I curse this 
likeness because
Suffering is 
So damn tiresome.
