thoughts on clouds

a poem

I sit silently in the dark alone

But in my head I'm on the throne

Jewels litter my arms, my head my neck

So invisible, no one cares to check

But content and happy I'm not lonely

Though there's one dream I wish to fulfil only

To see the world I read about

What a wonderful place without a doubt

With kings and Queens and boats and planes

If only I could go I'd never complain

Alas I stay here in the dark

Not a whistle, a song, a whisper nor bark

Is it possible for someone like me

Is there a world out there for me to see

One leg at a time first left then right

I walk towards the light in fright

Of what may be out there in the danger zone

I step out in wonder stood tall but alone

Such colours such beauty I grin in delight

 But people are screaming in terror in fright

I look out ahead in horror and shock

An ugly gruesome creature, skin hard as rock

I know from one look this place is my home

I must protect the city I am yet to roam

I take a step forward, determined and brave

To face this evil beast, send it to it's grave

But as I reach out my hand then makes contact

With mirror before me In agony I contract

The hand matching the reflection I see before me 

A monster so ugly I turn to a girl and she

runs at my heart with a knife and a scream

I'm crying and begging it's all just a dream

Why can't they understand I beg and I plea

But if it's a monster they want a monster I will be.
