A Broken, Porcelain Doll
If you have seen
A broken doll
Made of porcelain,
You would see
That the doll
Is shattered
Into so many pieces.
Some pieces
Are lost forever.
Other pieces
Are so tiny
You can't see them.
It is impossible,
No matter
How hard you try,
To put that doll
Back together again.
My life
Is very much
Like that broken doll.
Shattered,
Like porcelain.
Most of the pieces
Are lost
Or too small
For my eyes to see.
I have been told
That hope is like
A candle
Burning bright
In the darkest times.
But the darkness
In my life
Swallows up
All hope and light.
I am trapped,
Imprisioned,
With no way
To escape.
I am broken,
Shattered,
Just like that doll.
I am lost,
Hurt,
Unloved,
Abandoned,
Forgotten,
Like a broken,
Porcelain doll.
