Desperate Doll

Daughter, neglected by maternity A button missing were her eye should be Abused and abundant by paternity Her limb missing were her leg should be Expected to know the origins of charity Love omitted from were her heart should be Against all odds, to reach her maturity In reality, adopted by a broken society Of child and woman abusers, inequality With each step, she becomes a step- Daughter, despised by her competing step- Sisters, losing the will to extend herself Her education ferments high on a shelf Absent mentors, no substitution The sun sets on her bright future A childhood deprived of true joys Increasing her desire for real toys Her reasoning capacity, a silent voice Indecision a symptom of her poor choice Her soul searches for a father figure In a boy met under similar circumstance Her identity lost to home affairs His real intentions far from hers A love child raised by other children In a no child zone, her new comfort zone Her Barbie thinned, cries for a meal a day Granted, no chance to grow and play 12-13-2014
