Plastic Dolls

The dress you wear
Seems shallow
Next to the
Transparency
Of skin
Where I reside

I sit upon
The framework
Awaiting condemnation
For a job
Not so well done
In empty eyes

As you casually
Shrug sweet epitomes
Careless from
Your designated shoulder
In appeasement
Of fake suggestion

Litigation
Of
Embellishment
Stands adjourned
To casual affairs
~That make us
Plastic dolls…

Makes me wonder...
who will be the first to burn...


Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

WOW!!! Oh my gosh, this is such wonderful and powerful poetry, sweet friend, this has  a very haunting feel to it and it sounds sad, yet it incinerates with such originality and expression! (kiss on cheek) This is fabulous, sweet friend, your words always inspire me, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tanya, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

... hmm. had to read this three times to get the smell of burning plastic out of my nostrils!

digging deep, mixing the metaphor (very nice, extended a harsh, almost clinical tone) with the imagery (soft, translucent). A very vivid contrast. Works well with this style chick.

Um this just screams psycho...you know that right?  j/k this had a much deeper meaning than I think even I can find but the search for it was interesting to say the least.
