My conversation with a mime

By Kinkypoptart

Look at you…
With your white face
And messed up make-up
Your invisible box
That surrounds you…
Much like a cage
Oh no!
They’ve caged your very soul!
Everyone looks on
But I understand your pain
My good friend
They can all look…
Into the box…
The box they’ve never been in
And they laugh…
Even though you’re scared
Everyone points and laughs
At your trapped and tortured soul
Not understanding…
What its like
To be inside that box
You cry in silence
Tears of sadness and fear
On your face
Tears of joy on theirs
Well… I’m here for ya, pal.
