Porcelain Dolls
May 14, 2011
Beautiful people cursed to a statue's life
Staring blankly into space
Cursed with unnatural beauty
As any newborn
Or distorted with ugliness
Like a rusted flaky tin can
Creepy as vines on forest trees
Haunting window eyes
Unblinking
These dolls hold the
Secret of the world
From centuries past
All different cultures
Blended and mixed together
Becoming a symbol
For cultures past
Different hair colours
Different eyes
Same concept
Just as humans are
Unique
Just as breakable
