I let you confine me to a cubicle
name-plate me
ring a tag around my neck -
my ID crisis
Define who I am
According to your will
Assess me on your weighing scales
One to ten
Place me somewhere at five
Permanently
So I don't get way above you
Where you cannot reach
Or way below
To be of any use
To hold me there
You open your toolbox
Each turn a new tool:
For a laugh
It could be a cold shoulder
For queries it could be
A mute
Explanations?
A deaf ear
Yes....I let you
Passively
Hold me captive
Patiently still
While you clip my wings
Wondering all the time
"But what can you do
About the quietly growing wisdom
In my mind.....??"
