Entrapment

by Wendy Geal

Oiled up,
go, go, go.
I have become exactly what
machine
I was designed to be.

Tubular structures, fate-sealing anatomical
chemicals.
Cheap words, mixed emotions.
Oh the happiness promised;
a vulnerable girl,
here I am.
The same wad of mess,
a new title.

Stripped of my name.
My soul, vacant.
You wonder, "Where is the woman I once knew?"
Witty and charismatic.
My actions; the work my hands perform,
automatic.
A fine-tuned apparatus.

I output
dinner and dishes
and contain my personal wishes.

Tears fall and go unnoticed.
I'll blame it on the ammonia,
because I have no time for dreams.
Only regrets of a love profound
that will never be again.

Author's Note: Sacrifice. Haven't written in a while. The words are just beginning to come out again.

Seems like more than words have been "entrapped" in your soul, Wendy. Good luck as you find them and yourself again. And oh by the way: I love this poem. "Tears fall and go unnoticed. I'll blame in on the ammonia, because I have no time for dreams. Only regrets of a love profound that will never be again." Superb.
