Be careful one might say, handle with care, do not touch.
The expression never changes, the eyes, mouth, the way she looks at you.
You don't know if she's hurt, sad, happy, you don't know.
Her face flawless, her hair perfect, her smile contagious.
She sits there with the emotion you chose for her.
Crafted, painted, designed who she is, didn't think to ask .
Now be careful, you do not want to break your creation.
Keep her sheltered, away from the hands of malice.
As time goes by she is slowly forgotten.
She sits there unable to tell you how that feels.
Her once beautiful face now streaked with age.
Is it dust, is it tears, how can you tell?
One day you decide you want to see her again.
Gently you pull her from her case, her shelter.
What's wrong? Why do you have that look on your face?
She doesn't have that smile, that perfection, I'M BROKEN.

Perfect Title
Yes, this describes a porcelain doll. I like the flow, structured, but not overly so, still easy to read. You maintain the theme with excellent imagery from beginning to end Well done. Bluebird -

wow. i love the imagery and meaning behind this poem. t also flows really nicely. the pic goes well with this poem. i also love the message. so many people (me included) put on a mask. and nobody an really see who they are inside. they only see the fakeness, and the outer shell that people put up to keep themselves hidden. this is an amazing write. i look forward to reading more of your work.

Thank you so much, I am glad that you enjoyed it. I also agree that people put on a fake presentation when it comes to dealing with everyday life. I have two other poems on here if you want to read them. I need to look over your writing in a little bit! Thanks again I appreciate your comment.

Welcome to AllPoetry
In-depth write that says alot in a short space.
I suggest you change the font color as it is hard to read against the background

Enjoy AllPoetry
