Cupie Doll

By Kathy Lynn

The party has started

She sits all by herself

Just a small person

A Cupie doll on a shelf

All dressed up in her finest clothes

So all the guests will know

That her parents care

But it is all for show

They have hired a nanny

So that they can go their own way

Some one who will take care of her

As she lives from day to day

There are no hugs and kisses

For this small lovely child

She is just like a trophy

Just a pretty cupie doll

So this beautiful little child

Hides in the bathroom one night

Her life is in shambles

She cannot see the light

She finds her dads razor blades

Unwrapping one from the box

Looking at it with tears falling

Her wrists she slits,

 the door she locks

These parents seem so shocked

When they find her lying there

But all that know them

Know that.....

 they didn’t really care
