a little rag doll
made of tears.
sewn together
by her peers.
hands that cant grasp
things that slip away.
a heart that sees all
but will never say.
she can't stand up
on her own.
she's left on a shelf.
always alone.
piece by piece
she falls apart.
watching while others
play with her heart.
Author notes
its a metaphorical one.
ever feel like you are made of a bunch of little things?

Wow Megan this is really good. You know I never read much of your poetry, but I plan on reading more now
-
This is very sad...and I can relate it so much to high school. What a wonderful metaphor though! I must say I really love this piece and feel it's rather brilliant!
Great Job! -
=)
oh my god. it reminds me of the song paperdoll by kittie. That was one of my fave songs. I love this poem
-
wow- you are so astounding, and it's obvious you don't even have an inkling clue of it- you are awsome:
little rag doll

How brilliant and true is that?!!!!

Oh wow this is sweet and sad at the same time. Beautifully written & i like how it only rhymes at every other line too, makes it sound not too intentional...
My spirit shall now possess the rag doll to give her strength! <3

I like this poem a lot. It's sad and true. Your word choice and rhyme are also well executed. I'm not sure it really fits any of my options though, maybe next time.

Good job meg I kepp telling you to go public, but don't listen that fine...great poem yet again. lotsa love

This was especially interesting to me since my name "d0ll" comes from the ragdoll concept. This was a saddly beautiful write with which I can relate, many can relate. The rhyme scheme didn't get in the way of the words, which I like. Thank you for entering my contest and thank you for sharing your words.
