A porcelain doll of such perfection
  how they love your skin so fair
  and the depths of your dark eyes
  and your long and flowing hair
What an adored, beautiful angel
  truly the perfect porcelain doll
  but on the inside you are hollow
  there is not beauty there at all
A porcelain doll of imperfection
  with beauty that lies skin deep
  there adoration of you is a
  misconception
  a tragedy for which I weep
For I know that you are no angel
  that you have fallen far from grace
  you are just another devil in disguise
  with a perfect porcelain face
And when that porcelain shatters
  they still refuse to see
  all the cracks in your character
  that are very plain to me
A perfect, porcelain goddess
  an ever radiant porcelain queen
  how they worship the mirage of you
  blind to the truth that I have seen
I wrote this several years ago out of deep anger and scorn toward someone that in truth I love wholeheartedly. I grew up competing for my parents affection and whereas I could do no right my sister could do no wrong. It brought great hurt that turned into bitterness and ultimately destroyed us. I am happy to say that we have rebuilt our relationship into something beautiful, but for a long time we barely spoke to each other.
