See the hairline cracks in her porcelain skin 
The little dimples and dents 
In her cheeks and chin 
An angel's kiss placed right above her lip 
Watching everyone walk by 
From the shelf she sits 
Subtle blue eyes, rosy red cheeks 
Perfect teeth hidden behind a 
Perfect smile not to speak 
As she sits still in silence 
Blinded by heavy eyelids 
Watching the world go by atop her shelf 
Never to be held - she wasn't made for play 
Only for display - if she ever fell, she'd break 
Then she'd be worthless to collectors 
And merchants that would only do the same 
And neglect her perfection in the same way 
Her fingernails painted a beautiful red 
Gorgeous brown locks 
Pouring from her head 
With disdain growing behind pained eyes 
Wishing someone else was the prize instead 
In all her perfection 
She's not to be messed with 
When deep down she wants to be touched 
She wants to be hugged - she wants to be loved 
But no one will play with her 
For fear of breaking her 
So high on the shelf she remains 
That is her place for the rest of her days 
With her long distance gaze 
And pretty white gown 
Only to collect dust 
In the corners of her mouth 
And weigh that smile to a frown 

See the smudges and scratches 
On her porcelain skin 
Inviting blue eyes 
Accompanied by reluctance to even let you in 
Long eyelashes like bars on a gate 
Watching everyone walk by 
From the shelf she waits 
Observing and learning 
That the world isn't safe 
Played with a couple times 
Acquired some cuts and scrapes 
Made for display 
Amazed she's yet to break 
But her shelf isn't that high 
Only about eye level where they set her 
It still comes as a big surprise 
When she doesn't break 
When she falls to the dresser 
But most dolls would probably 
Crack from the pressure 
But not her
She may lose a piece or two but 
They just glue her back together 
She's never the same though 
Her face and frame look the same 
But something's changed 
Inside her eyes is something painful 
And that's why she'll play but isn't always playful 
That's why she'll play but isn't always graceful 
Sitting awkward on a shelf for a long time 
Does have a disadvantage 
It has the potential to cause damage 
And throw one off balance 
So she sits slanted 
Watching the world in worry 
Knowing that she'll never understand it
