Porcelain Doll
A broken, beaten, porcelain doll
with dark curls and pale skin
emerald eyes and rosebud lips
revealing nothing and speaking none
because her eyes are closed
and her mouth is shut
and her curls fall limp
and her skin is cold
and she does not move
because she’s afraid to live
and afraid to die
so she does nothing
because it’s easier than something
and it’s easy to be broken
and beaten
and silent
and limp
and cold
and still
and afraid.
