There she is,
Still and silent,
There to look at,
Gawk at,
And admire.
There she is,
Ready to face the world
And all it’s persecution.
Her life is that of a normal life,
People hate her, people love her,
People are indifferent towards her.
Unlike most lives, however, this life
Cannot be changed like that of a human’s.
Unless her soul is broken.
(And she wears her soul on her body)
On her smooth, cold skin
And in her glassy eyes that
Forever look straight ahead,
Towards the future
And what ever joy it might conceal.
Once broken,
She can never be repaired,
And no matter how hard you try to
Glue the pieces together,
There’s always that one,
That will not fit,
Because of all the despair
Of loosing that one chip…
That one chip, you will not find.
(Anywhere…)
She shows no emotion,
For she feels no emotion,
Or does she?
The only known movements that are known,
Are those that she places from her shadows.
One would ask,
What she is,
What she’s doing there,
How she got there,
And what’s her purpose.
She’s a slave to society,
For all she is,
Is a porcelain doll,
Just there to be stared at,
Put up to stay forever.
Author notes
Just comparing the life of a human sometimes to that of a porcelain doll. Boredom does funny things.

i love this symbolism it fits so well. i also like the extra bits in the brackets that are like an after thought, like you've kinda re looked at the situation and seen MORE.
"She shows no emotion,
For she feels no emotion,
Or does she?
