You are quite a gifted surgeon. In fact you cut me so clean and sharp I barely even knew it at the time. Waking the next day in my hospital bed was where I met my pain. Being with you was like anesthesia: I was so grateful for you to help me. You were the one who weakened me. My senses failed: your scalpel cut clean to the core, and then I just let you sew me back together. The nurses say I am very lucky, that I had a good doctor. I know better. I was once a person and now I am Sally Stitches, or better yet, Raggedy Ann. I am no one's operation game. Letting you in brings only stitches and needles, and it was I who checked myself in. I need to learn to stitch myself at home. Consider this my checking out.

Raggedy Ann
I'm just a Raggedy Ann doll in a Barbie doll world And sadly I'm starting to become unfurled Into this wounded life I was hurled And the lines are becoming blurred It's all becoming so very much twirled And this mind of mine is so very much swirled So in the corner you'll find me curled

Raggedy Ann Doll in a Barbie Doll World
Lying on my bed watching the fan move the skeletons around in my closet I look over to the TV where my Raggedy Ann sits A pretty little thing, but she's missing an arm Can't help but think, like me a few parts are gone Yet some how here we both still remain Still existing, but never to be the same The one that gave her to me never noticed what was wrong She over looked Raggedy Ann's missing arm I can only hope, most see me like my friend did Raggedy Not for what I am, a crushed broken tragedy
