A Poem by Not Afraid of Bruises

 

doll on a shelf.

 

people love her and

her “endearing weirdness,”

that cute, sweet awkwardness

that comes with a

     stubborn, fool-like dark side.

 

They treat her well,

            she never wants for

material things.

 

            only love.

love she lacks,

      because everyone

             loves her.

well. this certainly made me think. the ending was unexpected. quite the twist... which kept it away from trite, which i always appreciate.

it did hit me somewhere personal though... that doll-like, weird place in me. :P

great piece. is there a reason for the title, 8? I couldn't figure that one out, either.

hugs
