PorceLynne Doll
"PorceLynn. The Girl that's falling apart. She used to be the prettiest in her box, she was the one called a work of art. But she's shattering, Shattering from smiling for all the world to see."
Every day she smiled for the whole world to see. All she ever wanted to do was to help people be happy. It was her calling.
And so each day she would succeed. But with each smile she was able to share
she began to notice her own began to cease to be there.
Though never would she let anyone see her lack of grinning. It was only when she was alone she would find herself crying. But she could never tell she would never say a thing. She continued to share a piece of herself to any soul in need; each time her power waning. Her porcelain glass skin began to crack and then there was no going back.
If she smiled now she would split right down the middle and it was then that she had never felt so insignificant so little.
From there on she painted on her happy face and tried to fill the cracks in with glue.
It was a lie of course she knew and it did fool some but the thing about telling lies, the only one you can't fool is YOU.
By the time she knew she needed help she had nowhere to go, and was too weak to run. She had given too much of herself away.
She tried to scream for help but time was up, she was done. No body was near and no one could hear.
The painted smile went first and from there she crackled and shattered as her body burst.
***
Nobody realized and nobody knew until they found her shards that were strewn;
That she was the Girl that held others together by giving them pieces of her heart.
Even though she was the one that was falling apart.

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.
