Packaged Away

Pushed aside and not being able to express yourself.

Packed together closely,

No room to breathe

No way for me to become my own

Thrown in with the rest

Together we are packed away,

With no room left to let

Our personalities shine through

Squeezed together to get as much

In as we can

Packed away with no sense of

Identity,

No purpose,

Stacked in a storage closet

Locked away from the world

Thanks so much if you review.

So often, it seems that we are packed away in a closet or lost in throgs of people. Suddenly, sometimes, a word, gesture, or a smile will come back to greet us; then, we know that we are very much alive. I loved your poem and I loved your thoughts. You are not "locked away from the world," because you are very much a part of it, adding all that you can to the beauty of it. This was a very well written and clearly understandable piece of writing; well executed and strong!

So sad but loved it great work.

This is very well written. Your sentiments are shared by a majority of people, I think. Every once in a while, I'm tempted to say "MOO", when I board a train or bus...
