Like a Poorly Sewn Ragdoll

I fell apart like a poorly sewn ragdoll

Thrown haphazardly into a washing machine

And though my body remains intact

My soul is strewn about all over the house

I prefer visible wounds for your words

Are worse than a bomb that imbeds shrapnel

And you demand that I stop weeping, stop feeling

Like you are my father and I'm a child

But I'm not a child, and I won't obey you

And I'm not really a doll

Though sometimes I know

That you wish I were one
