China Doll
by Robin Thomas (Age: 53)
copyright 01-21-2003


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
I am like a China Doll
sitting upon a shelf,
I guess that's the way
I've learned to see myself.

One that has been broken
when it was tossed around,
A doll without a smile
but with a painted frown.

One that has been hurt
that has felt alot of pain,
One with a life that has been full
of agony, stress, and strain.

I've gone through everything
that life can dish you out,
Now, dear God, I pray to You
please turn my life about.

This "China Doll" is broken
her heart, her life, her soul,
Please mend these broken pieces
before I get too old!

Well done, beautiful metaphors, the reader feeling your pain, hence pulling for you......and
for him/herself. Keep up the good work

It is beautiful.
It really tugs at my heart to know you ever reached such a sad point in life.
Please don't ever go there again...ask for help LOL

I like your metaphor. Well-done.
