The Doll
I am not real
 Just a creation of 
 Jealous man
 Wooden façade
 Do not believe my looks
 They are as fake as my complexion 
 I don’t live for me
 Don’t live at all
 Actually
 Just a muse 
 For on which my master could paint
 He is the one
 To teach me
 To sing
 To dance
 To mesmerize
 To entrance
 To entertain 
 Alas I feel no pain
 At least,
 That’s what you think
 But you know
 Even though
 I was created
 I have a heart
 I think
 I have a thought
 I hope 
 I can feel
 This I know
 For as sure as the Moon is
 Bright
 The Stars are
 Shining
 The Sun
 Raises high
 High enough
 To far for me to pluck from the Sky
 This I know
 Do you?
 It seems this way
 For you treat me as a human
 Carefully
 Gently
 And when I dance
 You dance with me
 When I sing 
 It is we
 You treat me like a human
 Like I am a fragile ornament
 That if you were to drop me
 I would shatter
 And the pieces scattered
 You would never find all of them
 To the others I am
 A toy
 A plaything 
 A rag
 A doll
 A doll
 That is exactly what I am
 But they know that if I am
 Broken
 I can be replaced
 By yet another replica
 I think I am number four
 But you know better
 That when I am stopped
 I cease to exist
 That there will be no other me
 I will be obsolete 
 That’s why you did it,
 Right?
 I fall
 Wishes
 Shattered
 Dreams
 Torn
 Thoughts
 Lost
 My final glimpse
 Is of you
 You bury me
 Like I was a human
 I smile at the tears
 This is what I had wished
 To be treated as a human
 Though I am a Doll
