Disclaimer: This piece of work is meant to be seen through the eyes of someone who has been abused, beat down and cast aside. This was written during a time I was thinking of my past and how I was someones toy or Barbie Doll they could dress up and put on a shelf when done playing.
This is not a question that requires an answer. It is question that requires you to think about how you view people. There will be a post in the future that talks about do you know what that person or child is going through when it comes to bullying. So, please do not email me and tell me what you think of me because that is not the point of this post.
What do you see when you look at me?
What do you see when you look at me? Do you see a Barbie doll that you can take off the shelf and play with when you want something to do? Or, do you see a porcelain doll that is broken and put together with glue and pieces missing. Do you see a Limited Edition that has a heart, a mind, and emotions. What do you see when you look at me?
What do you see when you look at me? If you look at me and think that I am a Barbie doll that you can take down and play with when you want to is not the right thing to do. I am not a doll that you can dress up and tell what she should and should not wear or act. I am not a toy that you can use a few times and then put back on the shelf to forget that you have it, when you are cleaning out your room. I am a real person.
What do you see when you see me? Do you see me as a porcelain doll that has been broken and
glued back together with missing pieces. When you look at me I have been shattered and I am missing pieces. I have been abused and hurt over the years. I have missing pieces, but I am slowly being put back together by God Almighty. When you look at me I may have pieces missing, in my heart and in mind. The pieces missing are from the people in the past who have hurt me. People who have told me, "You are not good enough" or, "You will never amount to anything." I am missing the piece of self-confidence and that I am worth more than gold. There is only one who can fill the holes in life is God. I am a human being.What do you see when you look at me? Do you see me as a Limited
Edition that you can only look at but cannot touch, because you do not want to break her. I am a Limited Edition but I am the type of Limited Edition that you can take off the shelf, but do not use me like a Barbie doll. I am a real person that when you say hurtful things it hurts me. I am a real person that when you are angry and throw a punch at me I will bruise and bleed. I am a real person that when you look at another woman and say, "She is pretty" makes me feel that I am not good enough. I am a human being.What do you see when you see me? Do you see a human being or do you see a doll that you can take down when you want to play. Or, do you see a broken doll who is put back together and missing pieces. Or, a Limited Edition that is a human being that has feelings and is one of a kind. What do you see when you look at me?
