Ode to a Mannequin
Ode to a Mannequin
Oh how I wish I could be alive like you.
I wish I could love, laugh, and cry like you.
I wish I could run, walk, and sit like you.
But my life is dreary as I just watch people walk by.
And stare at the clothes that I wear and the hats up on my head, as I try to be something I’m really not.
But wait! As I look into your eyes and your life, we’re not as different; you’re just a mannequin just like me, because we’re both trying to be something we’re not.
