A Toy Story Poem by Han Min Ohn

Sometimes I feel like I am just a toy
Being played by people who are not a child

They pick me up and play when they are in mood
They just ignore me when I am of no use

Sometimes they make me act like a prince of old
At other times I am just an ordinary Joe

In the morning I may be a hero saving the day
When afternoon arrives, villain is the role I play

They treat me like I don't have a feel
Like a toy in which tear is just mystery

They also make me express their thoughts
Sometimes they may even borrow my sword

From this life so much I want to escape
But like a toy, my own limbs I can't shake
