Action Figure (C) 10-2-09

I'm an action figure, I sit quietly waiting to be played with Hoping that in two weeks I won't be thrown away So I sit cold plastic and fake not knowing anything Still hoping that forever I'll stay I'm an action figure always believed to be cool Only when the people are around So when I'm alone and by myself I sit here stiff not making any sound I'm an action figure, brown and faceless and naked But the paint covers me to be someone new Now instead of being plain and alone I'm colored Green orange black and blue I'm an action figure played with only when it is convenient Never on the days when I want a friend So I lay here lonely until they come back Or maybe until I come to a tragic end I'm an action figure with a heart broke to pieces First my arms now my legs are gone away I lay here deserted then finally thrown in the garbage Now I'll be recycled and hopefully next time around I'll be there to stay to be continued...
