Ragdoll

Ragdoll-
You gave it a whole new meaning
I became the girl
With her mouth sewn shut
In fear
Of waking up your jealous streak
Of creating another fight
Of hearing you yell at me
And question me-
What's wrong with you?
Why are you so broken?
You would scream,
So I became silent
Because I didn't have an answer

Ragdoll-
You gave it a whole new meaning
When you threw me back in your bedroom
And told me I belong to you
You locked me in
Held me down,
I ran away, crying and asking
For help
And so you helped,
You grabbed me
With a new introduction
Now my face and your floor have a new relationship


Ragdoll-
I gave it a whole new meaning
When I allowed your feelings to become more important than my own
When I allowed your needs to be more important than my own
Afraid of becoming the villain,
I instead became a victim
A helpless doll
With threads torn apart
Parts missing
And no recollection of who I used to be

I have scars,
but I will own them
I will take my needle and thread
Sew my pieces back together
Create
A whole new fabric of reality
I will wipe the dirt from my knees
The stains from my cheeks
The blood from my hands
And reclaim my scars
As a reminder
To never forget,
And to never allow
Someone else
To change the meaning of who I am

Ragdoll
I am a broken woman,
And I am a fearless woman
Molded by the souls who have tried to tear me apart
And in doing so,
Forged the most beautifully imperfect structure
One that has seen struggle, pain, humiliation.
And I have risen
Never to be torn apart
Because I am stitched with diamonds in my heart
And no one can take that from me.
