“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 :)
