Conditioned
Conditioned, brainwashed,
to be a toy -
for everyone to play with,
to win, enjoy, destroy.
Dressed up in your finery,
smiling, empty-eyed,
sending out your signals -
"Find me, I'm here - inside!"
Used, abused,
and trying to please,
you taunt and tantalize and tease -
but trapped somewhere,
behind the smile -
a life not worth the living
and nothing worth the while.
Finding one
who seems to care -
desperate to love,
wanting to share ...
you love, you fight,
you lose, again -
another scar to wear.
Then through the dark confusion
of your mind -
you sight that tiny, magic patch
of blue.
Through pain and patience
you grow yourself a soul,
to find
the one you always needed
as a true
and understanding friend
is you.
