Porcelain Doll
January 4, 2019
You were like a child
Reckless & clumsy
My heart a porcelain doll on the top shelf
You reached for it with your grubby fingers
Jumping and grabbing to get it
But in your reckless fit,
You dropped it.
Shattering it everywhere,
Breaking the doll into little pieces
Like you did with my heart.

I loved this short peice please continue on your journey to success.
2018 was a troubling year for me. A series of unfortunate events happened, changing not only my life but myself as well. Despite how bad 2018 was, I've never written such amazing pieces before. This is one of the many pieces I've written, Porcelain Doll.
