China Doll

A Poem by NotYourChinaDoll
"

I'm not your china doll

"

 You think I am a china doll
With a fragile flawless face.
The doll that must be kept up high
Inside a small glass case.

You think I am so innocent 
So breakable and naive
You think this is a compliment
That's what you believe

You think I'm something perfect
Something to collect
Too good for this harsh world
For "my sake" you must protect

You place me on this pedestal
To look at, not to touch
Your angel girl with gentle smile
And cheeks with perfect blush

I'll tell you once it's just not true
These things you think you know
I'm wiser than that girl you see
I'm stronger than I show

One wrong move won't shatter me
I don't need your protection
And though I may be good,
I am far from perfection

Erase that china doll's image 
Then look at me and blink
Then listen close, I won't repeat
I'm not the girl you think

This is brilliant. Your writing is fantastic, the descriptions paint a perfect picture and the emotive words grip the reader. The way you twisted together the two themes... marvelous! I've never thought of that, but it is a perfect idea! Unique and and colorful.

Your words flow well together, and the rhyming
is good too. Sometimes, looks can be deceiving:)).
These are strong lines:Your angel girl with gentle smile
And cheeks with perfect blush

Love those lines.
Good write!

You write my style. I think this is great. I too am like you, I find the sad and dark feelings bring the words to me more effortlessly. I try to write all kinds of feelings, but I must admit, though odd it seems to others, I prefer the the sad and dark.

this one is indeed a very good one to read... It's a pleasure to read such a wonderful poem.. There isn't one or two lines that i liked the most .. your poem is so good that mentioning one or two lines out of it would be unfair to this poem...great work!!

this is really quite good. there are a few breaks in rhythm, but that's minor. what counts is that you've expressed yourself extremely well. i don't think any of us are what other people think we are.

Dear China Doll:
Great poem, and I love your last line. I must admit I am a little jealous of people who can write in prose. You are very talented. Can't wait to read more.
