Resigned to a fate I did not decide,
chained to a kingdom and on no one's side.
I am the one God left behind,
I am trapped inside my own mind.
Life goes on around me as bells chime
but I am stuck, frozen in time.
How am I supposed to accept?
Even as I laughed, I wept and wept.
Because I am sentenced to a life of pain
with no escape, no exit lane.
I've lost myself inside
this empty glass of wine.
"Champagne that tastes of stars
Stuck on the highway watching cars.
Seagulls swooping across the sea and sand
Robins that feed out of a hand."
Memories I breath in like oxygen
Memories that feed my fire like wind.
Plastic roses that look real
I am a doll who cannot feel.
I write things down so I won't remember
why my fire still has an ember.
I wished upon a passing cloud
that the screams in my head weren't so loud.

- Comment from author about the poem: I have Rib Syndrome, which is basically a condition where the cartilage that holds my ribs to my sternum is a little weaker so my ribs occasionally shift a little causing me a lot of pain for a short amount of time. I didn't know about the Slipping Rib thing until a month or so ago (although I've had the pain on and off since I was little but I didn't know it wasn't normal, but lately it's been getting much worse and I've been having the pain happen more and more often), but it didn't really sink in until last night that it might never go away. I might have to live with it for the rest of my life. And that really makes me nervous, y'know? And I'm just trying to find it in myself to accept it, but that's really, really hard for me.
