waiting on the shelf
in suspended animation
collecting dust
my dress fraying at the edges
as the glue fades
and my lashes fall down
When you aren't looking
I'll climb down
risking my fragile limbs
to jump off the shelf
my porcelain shell
will shatter whole on the floor
then
like some mythical stuffed rabbit
I shall love myself
my porcelain shell
will shatter whole on the floor
then
like some mythical stuffed rabbit
I shall love myself
into the arms of life
find my legs
and walk out of your playroom for good.
find my legs
and walk out of your playroom for good.
