Locked Away...
A perfect, painted smile
On my teeny, tiny face,
Cute, colourful dresses
Buttons, silk and lace.
Small, shiny ribbons
Hold every golden curl,
Big, beautiful, blue eyes
Glimmer like round pearls.
My smooth, pale skin
Shines bright in the light,
A girly, friendly smile
Hold teeth that are white.
My long, thick eyelashes
Are as black as coal,
According to girls around the world
I'm the perfect doll!
But that was then and this is now
Now it's dark and dim,
I only have one shoe on
With a crack from cheek to chin.
My bright colours have faded
My golden hair is a mess,
My blue eyes have lost #life in them
There's several holes in my dress.
I've been replaced by make-up and phones
Now there's no time to play,
Now she's grown,
I'm on my own,
Now I'm locked away.
