Broken China
Is that all she is.
A perfect doll,
quiet, beautiful, thin
Or is there more beneath her pale porcelain.
Is that what she wants them to see
the perfect figure she struggles to be,
cracks running beneath those layers of lace
her corset keeping her screams encased
Is that what she sees herself as,
broken china that needs to be replaced.
