Written for: Sunday Muse #170
I am torn and tattered
because I never truly
mattered to little
Susie. Devil was in
that child. Even her
parents were wary
of her. She burned
me, drew symbols
on my face, and left
me here to rot when
the family moved.
I wonder who she is
torturing now.

Probably her parents bear the brunt of her meanness until they buy her the new
doll she wants. It should be a punching bag with as painted face on the front.
