Erased (Free verse) by joydoll
Rub it out. Wipe it clean. Erase it so you can make the same mistake again... Can't bear that sound, The constant scratching of erasers On the surface of my soul. The paper of my heart is wearing thin. Once more and I'll be torn. Beyond repair? There’s no spare copy, no extra sheet On which to trace my life. I'm tattered and undesirable, No longer myself.

Up the ladder: Wake and Bake Club
Down the ladder: Pain

Is there not a drop of joy left in that precious doll's frame?
