Sitting on a shelf a simple small toy
A meager barbie doll awaits to bring joy.
Everyone loves her because she's a people pleaser.
She'll be whatever you want, constantly a theater.
Barbie is well liked by everyone she's met
But if she's so popular, why must you buy her friends?
She's forced into a house to live with a dull ken
All actions are controlled, all movements are planned.
Her looks are flawless, her style- fantastic.
But her insides are all fake, simply just plastic.
The smile on her face is set like a stone
Unmovable, unchangeable, can't let out a groan.
Meager Barbie doll she must feel so ashamed.
But who am I to judge her since we are the same?

The author's comments:
I wrote this piece when all the stresses in my life sorta just collided together. I had lost a lot of my freedoms, and I felt like I was being forced into an image that was nothing like who I was. However, I didn't want to vent about it to my friends, because they weren't good friends, so I put on a facade for everyone.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
