Am I just You Paper Doll <br />Or do I mean something more <br />Am I only something you can play with <br />And leave lying on the floor <br />You can dress me up <br />In whatever you please <br />You can soak me in my own tears <br />And bring me to my knees <br />You can hurt me <br />You can break me <br />You can rip me up <br />Or you can make me <br />Is that all that I am to you <br />A doll for you to hold <br />You can beat me, you can cut me <br />You can sell my soul <br />You can bend me any way <br />You can tear until I break <br />You can paint a smile on me <br />Even if that smile is fake <br />You can rip out my heart <br />Or you can put it back <br />You can paint on my feelings <br />With expressions to match <br />You can put on my emotions <br />And tell me who to feel <br />But no matter how you tape me together <br />I will never fully heal <br />Am I just You Paper Doll <br />A toy with which to play <br />Even if you don't know it <br />I'm hurt by what you say <br />You don't think I hear it <br />You don't think I know the things you do <br />But even when you rip me apart <br />I will always accept the glue <br />When you glue up all the rips <br />You think that makes it all okay <br />You think that afterwards I don't notice <br />But I've caught onto the games you play <br />I will not be just Your Paper Doll <br />The pain has brought me to life <br />With life comes real tears <br />So now you can see Your Paper Doll cry<br /><br />Tatianna Rei Moonshadow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-paper-doll/
