trapped in a bottle

why do I feel like my feet are sinking 

and that I am being swallowed by my emotions 

and feel like a glass sand timer that keeps 

being flipped over with not enough time to fix it 

why do I feel like the air is getting thick and I begin to feel like I can not breath

why do I feel like I'm spinning in circles over and over again

but this girl in fact was not she was a plastic doll

being placed in a sand timer

being suffocated by sand over and over 

until the child pulled her out of the sand

i wanted to make this piece seem real but its metaphorical and the object is inanimate.
