I'm okay--this just came to me.


Poem Artwork




I lay, a broken doll on a dusty ledge,
My owner no longer cares,
Abandoned, I look over the ragged edge,
Into the abyss I stare,

I envision what it would be like to die,
It must be better than this,
She has become too grown-up to hear my cries,
I've been forgotten, dismissed,

If I could, I would end it, once and for all,
But my arms no longer work,
I lay here and dream about the endless fall,
In my mind, suicide lurks,

It would be better to fall in the crevasse
Than to recall the memories of the past...

Fascinating write, Karla; almost 'Twilight Zone like' from the doll's perspective.

Neat write, Karla. The lament of a broken toy. I've had enough over the years. The last two lines of this poem speak volumes to my life.
Take care and stay cool.

Nicely done!...a bit on the dark side for you, Lady Buckeye, but sometimes the muse takes you to places a tad different.
