soul-less smile

I wish I could be your pretty little doll
wrapped up not only in cloth but patience
and determined to please you
with a soul-less smile.
Because I've never been that porcelein figure
nor have I seen myself ever become one
or become one.
Because what you want
is a trophy
who sits on the shelf and smiles
smiles and smiles all day
and you feel like you put that smile there
and only take me out
on a rainy day.
