Shook this barbie doll until it came to life
Until it wouldn’t come to life
Had it lived a life like mine?
With constant coup d’états against this reality
I conceded, I admit
Against ageless plastered smiles mechanically painted on
These frequent visitors
Mimicking me solely to express that I am exaggerating the situation
Life’s perils aren’t frozen in a smile
Or merciful
Unless you count the moments where every finger is sweet enough to suck on
