"China Doll"A Poem by K. B. HardingA dark poem I came up with today... about how I'm feeling right now."China Doll" Innocence was lost Early and sudden They broke the China Doll Told her to toughen Asked her whats wrong He grows vexed She doesnt respond Looks at him, perplexed Paint, paint, O China Doll Make something great, O China Doll Fill my demands Ask for what need But do understand I shall not heed Paint, paint, O China Doll She toiled hard She toiled wide Obeying her master at every side But every night She still cried There was no hope Even when she tried The Doll grows tired The Doll is worn Wishes to expire From overwhelming scorn You're body is aching Bones are breaking Veins are straining Skin is fading Mind for the taking Is this art, you're making? Paint, paint, O China Doll Make something great, O China Doll Fill my demands Ask for what need But do understand I shall not heed Paint, paint, O China Doll I am never letting you leave My China Doll
