A haunting tale of one child’s fate.
They say I am to old to play with dolls
Trapped within these four walls
Torn and ragged, searching for forgiveness
Ever since my childhood came and went
Tossed into the attic like an old rag doll
Couldn’t they see I was human after all
A small basin to wash myself
Minimal food given to keep me in this hell
Pale skin from no sunlight
Why do I thrive to keep up the fight
They haven’t forgotten me, this I am sure
For my freedom I must endure
Till the day they come to say
I can finally be free, I can finally play
Until then I will play with my one doll
With this only gift, I know they still love me after all
