Little Doll

pretty little girl

charming little thing

frightened of her mind

never says a thing

pretty little doll

child on display

you will never hear her cries

you only see her play

such a little actress

she will never tell

something deep inside of her

a darkness overwhelms

pretty little doll

just a silly little girl

knowing more than she should

of her little world

pretty little one

darling little thing

she doesnt want to hurt them

if they realize what she's seen

"If they realize what she's seen" to me might not necesserily mean anything happened TO her physically. She may have seen something that would disturb her so much that she's gone within herself. So many adults don't realize how perseptible children are about their surroundings. Suppose she saw a rape, or a murder or something else of that nature. This is not to say that it wouldn't be about her being hurt physically, but I just get a sense that my first thought is the one. A great poem Kayleen.

This was very good. It has a nice rythm and flow to it. To me it represented the sickness and sadness that is existnent in all humanity once you see what they are hiding behind their masks or atleast thats how I interpret it all. Kudos:)

Makes me wonder what the pretty little girl knows, but for some reason I see something very dark behind this poem.
Wel written, and a very nice flow!

Hmmmm... interesting. Must be the songwriter in me...but I am already mending your words to lyrics in my mind... I think it might just encompass a little of what we all feel from time to time... trapped... Anyway, enjoyed it! thanks...

This was a very intense piece of writing...The metaphor is this piece is very striking.
The idea which revolves around the lead character has been described brilliantly by you..and still you've written it in such a way that it will allow the reader to think about that girl..for what actually happened with her, was the hurt physical or mental and now what will she do..
I really liked this poem! Very well written.

WOW that was really powerful and gut wrenching... I get a strong sense of what this is about say it is a sick situation when someone takes advantage of an innocent child to satisfy then own cravings...
this is fantastic, short but get right to the point.
