Barbie House Poem by Ashley Nichol

im just a girl,
and youre just a boy.
this is my heart - its not a toy.
so whats with you playing with my mind?

we used to be cool.
this used to be love.
now its become something like a job.
like it or not,
things might be changingright before our eyes.

i tried to be you picture perfect girl,
but you were in your own fantasy world.
trying to control me like some kind of barbie,
but that just aint me.

cuz im not a doll.
this aint a dollhouse.
youre way to old to be putting me down like this,
and playing around like this.
i aint a barbie,
this aint a barbie house.
no, i could never live like this -
behind these four walls.
cuz im not your barbie! ! !

you call the shots - right down to my shoes.
i liked what you liked because you told me to.
i dont even think that you could tell i fell out of love,
but it never showed.
i gave up on us so long ago,
but youll never know.
baby dont pretend like you know me so well.

ill never be made of plastic.
so glad my hearts elastic.
no matter what you do,
ill bounce right back off of you.
cut me deep - but im not bleeding! !

and i come with imperfections.
epitome of perfection.
if you cant understand loving me like i am,
then youre no good for me.
glad i kept my reciept! !
