I really like the inside rhyme in your line, "Could sap encase me, salty tears seal me?". I also like the line "pen a centimeter from the page"... Maybe it's the internal rhyme between pen and centimeter. Same with "a pose - a piece of prose". You have a good grasp of rhyme and how to use it in a way that isn't cliche. I do agree with what the previous commenter said about your last line mixing your metaphors too much. Is there a reason you didn't use the line "like a statue" again? I think that might work better for you.
