Doll
(18+)
That mask you’re wearing runs so deep Those rosy cheeks, that pale skin, those shiny, manicured nails So pale, so doll-like, so breakable Your china lips so heavy you can’t speak Your tongue rolls behind your teeth, wanting to form words But, those lips weren’t meant to move Your eyes are glass-like, Fickle, easily broken, and foggy The holes you see through so small you can’t see anything around you You’re immersed in your perfection Your precise curls fall down your smooth face, so soft, so thick You have no expressions, no tears, no smile You paint them on and wipe them off Cover them, smother them, you hide them Such dainty hands, such tiny feet The buckled shoes, the ironed dress, the shiny jewelry It’s your curtain that you hide behind You sit, unable to move, finding it hard to breathe You won’t get far with your dainty china body So keep your perfection, I’ll keep my eyes open wide I’ll keep my awkwardness I’ll keep my voice I’ll keep me Because I’m not perfect And that’s all you’ll ever be
