Porcelain doll

What you see, isn’t really me

I hide behind a mask of makeup

And a smile that was never really there

xx

I’m a porcelain doll

I don’t shed tears of sadness or joy

I don’t feel love or hate

I don’t bruise or bleed

I feel nothing at all

xx

I’m surrounded by others

But I’m still isolated

In a world of my own

xx

There’s a wall

That shuts everything out

And never lets anything back in

This wall is inside of me

It’s the only thing I can depend on.

xx

You may think I am perfect

You might say I wish I was her

But remember I’m just a porcelain doll
