Paperdoll
Elyse Miller

© 2010 Elyse Nichole Miller


Strip my hide and shave my skin

Slip me on and wear me thin

Pump me full of chemicals

Carcinogenic miracles


Just like a paperdoll, Fuck me like a paperdoll

Tear me, share me, You can even wear me as a

Trophy pinup on your sleeve

Disposable, posable, For your every need


It’s the constant pressure, The driving mania

To be as thin, And as smooth, And as shallow

As paper


It’s the way They’re all shaped

To make us hate us, To make us hate them

It’s the way we’re all trained

We would kill to be them


We kill ourselves; Will heels and shelves

Really make us? As they break us

It’s the way we’re all shaped

To reflect upon self hate


Breaking glass with the tears

For the past ten years

And it’s tough to escape

From yourself vein for vain

Cause they bleach

The true beauty

Right out of your brain



Like paper cuts, Let the channels bleed

Because the market feeds On unmet needs

And breaks promises, Without conscience

And who cares if the ads depict violence


It’s only natural

Lies become habitual

Make me a paperdoll

Me me me a paperdoll

Cut me like a paperdoll

Just the way she’s shaped

Make me fake me fake fake

Make me fake me fake fake


I know I have to fake it

At least I’m going to face it

At least I can embrace it

I mean, it’s only natural

To be a paperdoll

Just like any paperdoll

Just like any paperdoll


The constant pressure

Laid me flat

The driving mania

Runs me ragged


The double standard tore me in half

Who wants half a paperdoll?
