From the first day they met
Lacey was head over heels
He made her heart flutter
He gave her full body chills
He complimented her beauty
Her music, her art
Poor Lacey fell so quick
and gave him her heart
It started out slowly
the comments, the names
He would say he was joking
But Lacey felt so ashamed
Why you wearing that dress?
Are you looking for attention?
He would call her names
too evil to mention
Stop posting those selfies!
Get off of your phone!
They don't love you like I do,
You will just die alone!
Oh, you think you look good?
Too good to hold my hand?
Why are you crying now?
I just don't understand.
Sure, I'm the bad guy
Yeah, I'm always mad
Tell the world I mistreat you
Go on, make me look bad
Don't think I don't see you
Staring hard at that guy
You think you're so slick
with your wandering eye
Lacey couldn't fight back
she felt broken inside
She swore up and down
she had nothing to hide
Lacey lost all her confidence
she kept her head down
She felt like a burden
when he was around
She was just too tired
to speak up anymore
Convincing him of her love
Just felt like a chore
So she would keep quiet
Be seen and not heard
She would stay on her leash
And never speak another word
She gave it all up
Her music, her art
She gave it all up
When she gave him her heart
Lacey is kind of near and dear to my heart. She was based off of a drawing I made from my own personal experiences. I don't have a whole lot to say on the subject other than, don't ever allow anyone to make you feel like this because there isn't a single person who walks this Earth worth feeling this way. -Sara

I love Lacey! And I don't like dolls lol. I love the poem, and felt ever bit of it and think you're really quite brave and strong to put something out there like this that's really very personal! The doll design as well is amazing...says so much with just the smallest of details! Well done, Sara and you're so very right (Of course you are) with what you said!
I love how you styled Lacey. I hope that she finds her voice again. Brilliant work Sara!
