Ragdoll

by Ruby   Feb 15, 2005


I sit here in silence
Quietly by myself
I've been put away, discarded
Put back on the shelf

To the land of dust and toys
Where everything is worn
But all the little girls and boys
Where have they all gone?

For all that I'm surrounded by
Is a ghost-land, there's no noise
But I am not alone here
I'm surrounded by the toys

Toys that have been broken
And don't work anymore
But I still have both arms and legs
What am I here for?

Where's the special little girl
That used to play with me
Why am I not in her room?
Where on earth is she?

She couldn't sleep without me
She would hold me tight
I can't protect her if I'm here
This does not feel right

She's put me here in clutter
When I was her best friend
I cannot yell, I have no voice
Will this be the end?

Why has she thrown me away
With all her broken toys
Now I'm just another rag doll
Who cannot make a noise

I have a wound, deep in my heart
What am I to be?
Will I sit here forever?
Or will someone notice me?
