Porcelain Doll

I am an imperfect porcelain doll,
Sitting, long forgotten, on my dusty shelf.
From my imperfect blonde locks, the cobwebs fall,
Alone I wait, in my imperfect porcelain self.
My imperfect eyes of glass are scratched,
Though they see what surrounds me fine.
My imperfect porcelain being may seem unattatched,
But I can still view the darkness where the sun doesn't shine.
Where once there was painted a rosey porcelain smile,
The imperfect cracks destroy the illusion.
They reflect those long years and times of trial,
Upon my lonely shelf, enduring the exclusion.
My moth-eaten dress is now boring and gray,
Hanging lamely on my imperfect porcelain form.
Once on a pedistal, up for display,
My only protection is beaten and worn.
Shine-less black shoes engulfed in the dust,
Forever upon porcelain feet they shall remain.
Buckles imperfectly covered in rust,
Destined for eternity to stay the same.
I am an imperfect porcelain doll,
Sitting, long forgotten, on my dusty shelf,
The world will never see my porcelain heart and soul,
Alone I wait, in my imperfect porcelain self.
