Porcelain Doll



*Update: I started a lifestyle blog yesterday, so please follow this link and check it out! 



 I wrote this as a lyrical poem back in middle school, and it inspired the creation of an entire world.

~ Where it all began. ~

I'm drowning in my sorrows.
I suffocate in my own air.
I fear for every tomorrow,
Bows in my synthetic hair.

See my pain through glass eyes.
No one sees that I'm there.
I've become a slave to my own devise.
It pours out from under what I wear.

My skin is milky white and cold.
Under the weight, my own legs fold.
I'm dressed up in cream colored chains.
Don't let it fool you, it's easily stained.

I'm just a porcelain doll.
Fall on the floor, I shatter to pieces.
Please pick up my heart, promise to keep it.
Glue me back together 
Forever, I break so easily.
I have a voice. Do what you want with me.
To all, I'm just a porcelain doll.

I'm falling backwards, down
On the shelf too long a while.
It hurts when I hit ground,
Sharp edges can't be filed.

Smile's painted on my face. 
But I have no reason to smile.
I can't show all my pain.
I'm older now than my miles.

My skin is milky white and cold.
Under the weight, my own legs fold.
I'm dressed up in cream colored chains.
Don't let it fool you, it's easily stained.

I'm just a porcelain doll.
Fall on the floor, I shatter to pieces.
Please pick up my heart, promise to keep it.
Glue me back together 
Forever, I break so easily.
I have a voice. Do what you want with me.
To all, I'm just a porcelain doll.

I don't need a dollhouse. I don't like these walls.
I think that I'm old enough to know how to crawl.
I can't live in a carriage for the rest of my life.
You ask me to stay, but I'm willing to fight.
I'm not so fragile. I'm not made of porcelain. 
Its time that you see that I'm just human.

I'm just a porcelain doll.
Fall on the floor, I shatter to pieces.
Please pick up my heart, promise to keep it.
Glue me back together
Forever, I break so easily.
I have a voice. Do what you want with me.
To all, I'm just a porcelain doll.
I'm just a porcelain doll.
Porcelain doll.
I'm just a porcelain doll.
Porcelain doll.
I'm just a porcelain doll.
