Cold-Hearted

I shivered looking at the window, 

Even as warm as I was,

Wondering why he is so cold,

Inside and out.

Now I know why they describe it as window pain;

His heart as dark as the night sky,

But not as harmless.

It starts to rain, but it doesn't stop.

The cold touch that stays inside,

It just brings me more pain.

I wish the pain would stop

For just a minute

But I know no one can take my pain away,

Not even me.

The heart has its own mind.

You won't forget,

Even if you beg,

It stays with you forever,

Even if you choose to let go.

Day After Day

They walk past me,

They don't even stop to say hello.

Some have arms full of bags,

Some dragging their crying children out of the shop.

A woman says "I love that coat"

I try to say "Thank you," but I can't.

My lips are sealed like cement

My arms stay in the same position 

Day after day.

My feet are strapped to shoes,

It is like the shoes are chains.

I can't walk freely,

I have no friends.

I stay day and night here,

I do not sleep,

I do not lay down,

I stay day after day 

In the same position.

They put new outfits on me every month,

Sometimes they make the women want to

buy it.

Day after day I do not rest,

I  model for them in the same position.

Day after day I do not rest,

Day after day they don't even say

hello.

Ninja-Like

To be a ninja, is to be sneaky

To see what others don't

To hear what others don't

To eliminate those who appear as a threat

To hide in the shadows

That's how to be a ninja.
