China Dolls
Do you think you can throw your body without stall
Onto mine, and force me and touch me?
I am not a China Doll
Waiting for personal use from you like this is free
You’ve taken something from me that I can never get back
You’ve taken something from me and all the me’s around the world
Because you think you can flee after making such a twisted attack
Giving us pain and shame swirled
My body is not sitting on a shelf with smooth porcelain
That you get to feel and use until I’m worn out
Do you have to go back a few more times until your certain-
That the fruit you’ve picked and have been tasting is in a drought?
But before you go, watch me reclaim it- however long it takes, years or weeks
China Dolls are no longer helpless or silent with quiet tears dripping down porcelain cheeks.
