China Doll

I'm not your china doll

 You think I am a china doll
With a fragile flawless face.
The doll that must be kept up high
Inside a small glass case.

You think I am so innocent 
So breakable and naive
You think this is a compliment
That's what you believe

You think I'm something perfect
Something to collect
Too good for this harsh world
For "my sake" you must protect

You place me on this pedestal
To look at, not to touch
Your angel girl with gentle smile
And cheeks with perfect blush

I'll tell you once it's just not true
These things you think you know
I'm wiser than that girl you see
I'm stronger than I show

One wrong move won't shatter me
I don't need your protection
And though I may be good,
I am far from perfection

Erase that china doll's image 
Then look at me and blink
Then listen close, I won't repeat
I'm not the girl you think

This is brilliant. Your writing is fantastic, the descriptions paint a perfect picture and the emotive words grip the reader. The way you twisted together the two themes... marvelous! I've never thought of that, but it is a perfect idea! Unique and and colorful.

'I'm not the girl you think'

Is a brilliant line after all the beautiful descriptions on what "I" think.

Except for a line or two, the flow seemed quite flawless. There is a pervading sense of strength etched into every line, which draws out an image of a strong woman in my mind. Bravo!
