Breaking me down,
Cracking my code of life,
Taking a slash of dignity,
Everyday,
My heart is beaten,
Raw meat style,
Bleeding negativity,
Maybe that's why I'm psycho,

Rag doll personality,
Thrown through the air,
Face plants on the concrete,
Limbs flailing,
No breath of life,
Inside this plush,
Only cotton,
Soul embedded somewhere,
Eyes only X's,
My murder has been committed,
Cold case,
Drawer closed,
No leads,
Just a hopeless tragedy.

The author's comments:
Everyone, at one point, feels like they are a rag doll, thrown through society, with the life sucked out of them. In this piece, I personified a rag doll, trying to capture the effect of bullying and to use imagery to really make the reader think.
