Dolls 'N Girls

Little dollies that sit on a shelf

Porcelain face, painted lips

Or little dollies on a bed

Soft clothe skin, sewn smile

Little girlies follow the example

Stretched, perfect lips

Sew up the cuts

Be quiet

Keep your precious button eyes blinded

She sews the dollies holes shut

And she sews her wounds shut

The dollies only smiles

So she only smiles

The dollies can't really see

She doesn't really see

The dollies don't have voices

She made sure she didn't either

She is perfect

She is broken

Painted, perfect lips

Rosey pink cheeks

Bleach blonde hair

Bright blue eyes

She was so perfect,

That she wasn't human

She was another gorgeous dolly

And that's what made her broken

Girls are like dolls

Only when they crave to be wanted

But she's not plastic

And she can feel

But won't

For you to like her

Sad, broken, fake yet perfect girls

Beloved but a painful reminder of her imperfections and insecurities
