Like a Broken Doll

Like a Broken Doll

She was like a broken doll, with

Pieces missing that no one could find.

Never able to be fully whole again

Never able to be what she once was.

After her fall from grace no one was gentle with her,

They were rough and harsh playing the game

Of who could break her first,

And turn her into a broken doll.

She was the broken doll they had created and that they had broken,

The delicate china doll that was once so fragile and unaware

That was now tough and jagged and jaded by reality

The precious doll of theirs was no longer whole.

The pieces she had lost were now

Never able to be retrieved.

And she had turned into the girl she never wanted to be

A girl like a broken doll.
