It is not suitable for a Barbie
Living life in so much gloom
Have I mentioned I’m claustrophobic
I hate this little room
Back at home, I have a castle
A Malibu car and many friends
Yet here, wherever I now reside
The sunshine came to an end
My hair will surely be a wreck
The polish on my nails will crack
This box is so dull and lifeless
I despise the color black
The only reason I’m dealing
Is as of these stupid men
Because now I am far, far away
From my dreaded ex boyfriend, Ken
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Finally, morning has came
Honestly I wouldn’t have been able to tell
Yet not only is this creature barking
He reeks such an awful smell
The bow unwrapped so quickly
Paper was shredded piece by piece
Two little hands came toward me
Jolting me, and finally I am released
A smile remained on my face
Yet this time is was surely real
I was able to breathe, see the color pink
Life was truly ideal
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Another box was opened
And another child smiled
Christmas was wonderful
And all worthwhile
Then to my surprise
Slightly my smile did fade
I should have never left Malibu
I totally should have stayed
The little hand lifted
Not only me, again
Then began to introduce me
To her brothers toy, Ken.

Wow, this was amazing.
No one ever really thinks about how Barbie feels do they?

LOL Just can't escape Ken can she? I knew fate would win in the end.
