This is not a home. This is a box

I am trapped

You tore off my legs so I cannot stand up for myself

Sitting in this room of toys bathed in LED lights, I can no longer picture the sun's peachy gaze

Slumped against these walls, your thin whispers seep into my porcelain skin

I crack.

You cannot hear the cacophony of my cries

Tired of this dark gold dress I want to tear it off but you have stolen my arms

One thousand murmuring aches and you continue until I break.

This is a tomb.

I cannot escape plastic and cardboard.

You stare and laugh while tears seep out of glassy eyes

Hour after hour I hang on, I do not want to drown in your pit of past victims

I refuse to become a part of this marionette holocaust

But you left me with nothing

Drained of all strength, the cavity in my chest echoes with the last beats of my hollow heart

I succumb to the suffering and finally fall apart.
