doll
i am a defect model
when all the other little girls were sent down the assembly line
i stuck out like a sore thumb
my doll parts were put on the wrong way
my paint was off kilter, the ribbons in my hair falling aloose
nobody wants to play with a toy like that, so they sent me away
i never have known love
they found me in the bargain bin
a toy for all the little ones to play with and share
i belong to no one
im a daycare toy
chewed on and fought over
nobody can truly love a doll that has no home
i was born broken
i was raised broken
how can i ever break the cycle
maybe there was no hope in the first place
