[hometext] => I wrote this a while ago when I was really ill and felt like everyone was tiptoeing around me
[bodytext] => Concrete feet, dried into the ground The discomfort drives you mad You make no sense, no sense at all Am I too weak to break your fall? Let’s brand me right now, bare it on my skin The way you love to make sure I don’t fit in Too weak for anything Stop right there, trust me it’s fair It’s our way of showing you we really do care So am I your little China Doll? Fragile tape around my waist So you can shape me how you want And paint breakable on my brittle face Concrete feet will keep her safe She won’t be able to move Concrete feet so she can’t grow We’re doing it just for you Dizzy, dizzy, spinning round Though my feet are fixate to the ground Frail, little China Doll We’ll destroy your little soul We’ll assume the world will swallow you whole Concrete feet can stop me no more Though my China Doll exterior stays solid in the floor One day I’ll be strong enough to break your fall [comments] => 1 [counter] => 181 [topic] => 61 [informant] => carmen_queasy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
