Broken

I'm like a broken doll
In a perfect world
The stain
On the snow white silk
The default in the factory
Out of millions
Of perfect imitations

I'm like a shattered glass
In a fine china case
The scar
On the perfect body
The single strand of hair
Out of place
Of millions of lengths

I'm like a broken doll
In a perfect world
No one wants me
For my imperfections
I gather dust on the shelf
All alone
Only to take up space

I'm like a shattered glass
In a fine china case
My sharp edges
Make you bleed
So no one will touch me
No one will go near me
No one will love me

I'm too broken
I'm too shattered
My imperfections
My damaged frame
Don't try to break me
For this time
I'm already broken
