Poem: Vision from a Snow Globe

 by Emily Curwood

I’m trapped in a snow globe,

In my own world.

Lost in a flurry of thoughts,

In a sea of words.

The people walk past me

Unaware.

I want to break through the glass,

But I don’t dare.

 

Every day I dream of 

What’s beyond my grasp,

My vision is obscured

Just want to rip off this mask.

While you may be safe,

Shielded from the pain,

There’s a longing for reality 

And I’m bound by these chains.

 

So I sit here staring through a window,

Alone.

Blinded by the falling snow.
