Doll on a Shelf
If I could be a doll on a shelf,
if only for a day.
To be that inanimate object,
to witness myself
and the world around me.
For a day that sees all
that I do not.
I want to see all my mistakes
and why.
To learn from them.
To give forgiveness to myself
and others.
I need the understanding of it all
and let that inanimate tear fall.
Just to sit on the shelf
and be observer of
the why of me.
Feel the sweet release of forgiveness
and console.
Just a doll on a shelf.
