she was an object
or at least
that's what they insisted
she does not have
thoughts of feelings
that matter
she is an accessory
her talents are nothing more
than that of the skin
beneath the paint
they put on
her face
"but why, then?" she asked
" does my head taunt
and cry
and why
does my chest
scream and beat and
fight for surrender?
if i am nothing
more than
paper
and porcelain
then why do
i want
to die?
for how could i
end a life
that does not exist?"
