Picture Souls


by Amanda Proctor (15)

Pictures staring down from walls.
Question is do they have souls?
Watching me as I unchange,
Watching me throughout the day.

They see my anger,
They see my woe,
They see my joy,
The see the real me.

What I fear, for me, is that,
They go back and report me
To the owner of their face, their soul
And somehow they know my vices.

A silly fear, I know that's true,
But don't you feel them too?
They haunt me and follow me,
Intently with their watchful eyes.

Until I unpin them to the ground.
