My Aunt Is a Broken Sorry Doll

My aunt is like a broken, depressed, sorry doll She looks under rocks to find mean men so small Sad tears are what we see all of the day and night She focuses on negatives, not ideas warm or light. She once had a bright upbeat attitude and great smile. But she has been down in the dumps for quite a while. This latest man is a professional at putting her down. She looks like a broken doll, a sad sorry puppet, his worried clown.

This is sad and also made me think, we all have one aunt that is a bit of some of that described here, wishing the best for all. Brilliant write. Your rhymes are so good! Pleasure reading this.

Such a sad thing to witness. Bad relationships are not only toxic to be in but just as traumatic for others who care about the main participants. I hope she finds real love in better places than under the rock. Perhaps by starting inside in her heart she can begin again. Great poem.
