Book shelf still, placed on a stand
Hollow fill, motionless hand
Broken cracks, on porcelain skin
Invisible,
you lie within.
Breaking little porcelain doll
Heart so big, faith so small
Beauty here forever lies
Shadowed by still glass eyes
Laced secrets, ribbon stature
Stich all fears of fracture

Breaking little porcelain doll
Crying tears which never fall
Cheeks tinted of light rose
Frozen in a statue pose
Never smile, never blink
Never speak, only think
Muted screams, not a sound
Imprisoned girl, never found
Breaking little porcelain doll
Come alive, or not at all

This is for every girl in this world that fails to believe in herself. Beauty lies behind all your porcelain skin :)
