I stole Smooz's title, 'cause his photo inspired the poem and so I wanted the title thing to be a parody. x3

Yeah. posting it here 'cause I don't want to lose it O:
-----

Standing lifeless, you've no experience
Of what your depths hide, or else could be.
Assuming the inability to soon grow,
You choose to hide, and remain hollow:
And you can't inspire others to see
The beauty of your inner ambience.

For after all, who wants a puppet for a soulmate -?
Their single trait, a shadow of a mere mannequin -?
Yet from the inside, you've warped perspective:
Too biased against self to be objective,
You can't see your heart beating underneath your skin,
Burning in your own self-afflicting acetate.

But your colours and unmasked facets betray
The rusted joints becoming again life-flowing
As first free steps are shakily taken,
Stepping out into the dream world now waken.
As you regain your place among the living,
Inner light once more shines; this time to stay.
