Submitting Serena
Serena grew up with images
Appearances took time
She fell from a great height
Fracturing her delicate mind
When others entered the room
Where she sat upon the shelf
They had to walk carefully
In order to not disturb the repaired self
She knew she had been glued
But the picture was intact
The sharp edge on the side
Pushed LOVE to place her back
...safely
Her creator wanted to remold
And put her through the fire
But she put up quite a fight
To possess her only desire
...alone
She could still hold liquid
Water, oil, and even batter
Would fill her open vessel
Because being useful is what really matters
One day, the creator pulled her down
Saying, tell me about your broken
Her vessel began to vibrate
In the presence of WORD spoken
...yielded
.................care created anew
