Futile Mask, Give me Meaning

Chains attached to an 
Invisible Body 
Pulled by something 
Headed toward somewhere 
Distance is what she wants 
A barrier to enclose herself 
into a world where she will 
never have to leave  
A place where logic 
and sequential order 
are meaningless 
concepts that 
never venture 
into her isolated land. 
All she wants is an 
explanation, a reason 
Something to give her 
purpose behind the futile
mask that she wears
A story that could be 
not only told, but 
understood by 
someone other 
than herself.
