porcelain

by Lindsay Ann - Gemini

my body, like a porcelain doll, sits here delicately
fragile to the core of my soul, i wait to be
picked up, you look but you never touch
the fear you harbor is just too much

maybe your hands are too dirty to hold me
or are you afraid to touch such a doll
maybe you might make me shatter below you
maybe you don't even want me at all

but just because i seem so clean
doesn't mean i dont deserve to be seen
so many years i've been waiting here
all by myself
so many times i've wondered why you
wont take me off this shelf

what's the matter, babe? what's the fuss?
what's the hold up, i'm collecting dust

maybe i don't deserve to be happy
maybe i'm just too good to be true
maybe you were just right all along
maybe i was too good for you

Reason for writing:

    some silly boy
