A Doll's Life

by @joyjoyjoy

Sometimes I would smile, but sometimes it would only be a mere laughter, But still, I would only be a hard robot; only prettier- as they said Sometimes I would talk to the dust piled under his working desk, I would sniff in my tears and let out a sigh that meant everything in the whole universe; ‘Our systems are a little different to everybody else, we were always smiling, even before we knew it’ I told the stones on the road, “In his recipe, another ‘toy’ would be brought to life today.” They call us dolls, pretty little bunches: perfectly tuned, set up to a single, carefully manipulated pose One day I finally found the courage to crack my face Or perhaps only the facade of who I am I decided to let whatever left inside me spill out into the outside world I wanted to show light into me I desperately needed some sunshine inside myself I ran out the window, towards the pathway and was stopped. ‘Princess, we don’t want you to be hazed out n’ faded, do we?’
