My Dolly




“We cannot blame a child for being afraid of the night.  The real tragedy of life is when men become afraid of the light.”MY DOLLY

My Dolly's like me
Her eyes are blue
But when I smack her  
Or whack her 
Her skin doesn't bleed 
She doesn't cry 
Her hair stays still 
My dolly's like me  
When my bruises are gone

    Very moving and tense! At first the words seem so childishly sweet but at the end they turn out to be the words of a child unfairly bruised by traumatic experiences. Painful...

    This is thought provoking, awakening and probably happens more than it ever should. Thanks for sharing.

    short & to the punch, this poem.
    it evokes disturbance & sorrow ..and, this is what the poem is supposed to do...'move' the reader into thinking or feeling. your poem does this.
    I like your poem, sadly though.
    thanks for sharing.
