Raggedy Doll

Poem Commentary

I would have to say it clearly, this is my way of expressing how abuse feels through the eyes of my inner child.

Raggedy Doll

A raggedy doll
with zig-zag stitches,
holding
the peices together.

New scars cover old scars
a battered rag doll am
I...
I do not believe
there are enough
of these zig-zagging
stitches,
to keep all the stuffing
buried in my britches.

I am a torn apart
shredded mess,
a raggedy doll...
in a heap on the dirty floor,
no one wants to sew
together anymore....
