Cabbage Patch Kid

I'm so dirty and torn,
I'm bedraggled and forlorn,
You make me feel like,
I'm so dirty and torn.

I'm just a cabbage patch kid,
I'd say Barbie but they're beautiful,
With pretty voices, and figures,
Their admirers innumerable.

A hole in my overalls,
A hole in my heart,
A hole in my soul,
Did anyone even love me from the start?

I wallow in my self pity,
Or at least I wish,
I run my mouth,
But I can take everything I dish.

But what did I do to deserve this,
No love, no heart, no other,
No nothing, I'm penniless,
No wonder.

My hair in elf locks,
My face, we don't speak of it,
My figure makes me wanna puke,
I wish I could be another but only for a bit.

Only long enough to realize,
I hate myself,
To take me life,
Because I refuse anyone's help.

I just want to know,
Why is it I'm so messed up,
It's cause I'm ugly, fat, stupid,
Pathetic, desperate and disgusting, yep.

Oh my god, I remember when these things came out as a kid! I felt bad that I never got one, I kind of wanted one since not many around me had one. Though, I felt bad about how they looked, so perhaps people didnt buy or like them so much because of the quality making of the doll? They did look cute in a certain way though, with their chubby faces :) and their clothes were halfway decent. They were no Barbie, but kids shouldn't not like a doll just because it has on a few extra pounds and looks a bit different than the doll they were expecting. But hey, if ever your child starts acting up around the holidays and they want a Barbie, be sure to get them a cabbage patch instead! Then, they will learn their place quick!
