Prohibited keepsake

 I am swept off the road into an old shop
Souvenirs and little pieces of the past
sewn, sculpted and baked
They made space on the shelf for me

But I was soaked from the rain
So they directed me outside
chipped away at my insecurities
And painted over the bruises

They let me dry out in the shop window
Will I wear this smile until I'm sold?
or packed away for inventory
No factory of origin to speak of

Window glass became my eyes
 footsteps then doorbell my ears
 I settled in with pre-autumn dust
 Unable to see the price on my ankle tag
