Dolly

If you could see it from her eyes.

pretty little girl
charming little thing
frightened of her mind
never says a thing
pretty little doll
child on display
you will never hear her cries
you only see her play
such a little actress
she will never tell
something deep inside of her
a darkness overwhelms
pretty little doll
just a silly little girl
knowing more than she should
of her little world
pretty little one
darling little thing
she doesnt want to hurt them
through the experience she's in.

[Gee]

Is this child abuse....sorry I'm not the brightest,enjoyed the read

[The Waterlily Pad]

It is in a form of abuse but it's not neccasarily directed at children. I intended to use a voice of a person who kind of mimics the thoughts of people around her who use and underestimate her credibility... I appreciate that you asked! :D

your poem comes easy and smooth like a lullaby or a children's song but the essence is so touching. One day that little doll turns into an angry young girl and nobody will know why. I really love your Piece!

Thanks. Your right. People do change through such experiences and many don't even realise how such can effect them.

[Sharon L.H. Kelly]

It breaks my heart to think of all the little Dollies out there who suffer in silence. You did a fine job describing her and the situation. Well done.

thank you! We share the same sympathies, I suppose. :)
