“Out of Order”

Write a poem about something that is out of order - you could take a literal approach, or try to work in a metaphorical theme.

Broken Doll

I'm out of order, that’s true

A doll with clothes torn, limbs broken too,

You'll buy a new one, shiny and fine,

A Barbie blond, beautiful, divine

She’ll be all you need, as my ends fray,

Am I really useless? Or is there a different way?


If you give me away, someone might find,

A broken doll to mend and be kind.

They'll sew my limbs, fix my clothes tight,

Braid my hair, put my head back on right.

Be my friend, a chance to be new,

Heal the cuts,

hold me tight,

And maybe, just maybe, I'll be alright


Note: YOU ARE NOT BROKEN!!!!!!

I was friends with a girl who was suuuuper toxic to me to the point I probably developed BDD (first verse)

And then I got rid of her and met my bff who is the best person ever and she made me feel like an actual person instead of a broken doll again.

For everyone in toxic friendships/ relationships- don’t do that to yourself. Just leave. There’s so many people that will love and care for you genuinely and that will make you feel happier.

I don’t think I’m gonna leave this up for very long, so enjoy while it’s here ig :)
