Soap Dispenser Views the World

By: Kinsey Jones (Staff writer)

I sit and watch as the world goes by. Nothing to do but keep others from getting sick. They always say “use soap and water to wash your hands but make sure you always scrub for 30 seconds”. I feel used, every time someone needs to wash their hands they push me down taking away my energy and spirit. Little by little taking what was not supposed to be theirs. They take until I can’t breathe anymore. But at least I get to hear the interesting conversations, right? I sit and listen to the girls talk about cheating boyfriends who secretly gave them a second chance. Then they come back a few weeks later talking about how their boyfriend is cheating again and how they are going to have to confront them. The first time he cheated and they confronted him he sat in silence and had nothing to say to them. But they came a while later and talked about how he apologized and was being all lovey to her again. Of course they are still together and worked everything out.

However, this is not my story. That is for someone else to tell. I sit here watching the world go by, getting used until I have no energy, only to be refilled, and regenerated. I hate not being able to travel around and look at life for what it really is. To travel and view the scenery. I just want to get out of here. I want someone to set me free. I deserve to be set free, but nights get lonely. That’s when I sit in the darkness while nobody’s here hoping I get to leave someday. One day someone will see me as more than just a soap dispenser they can use.
