This poem was inspired by a painting I saw that created a number of mixed feelings.
Hush little dolly
Never say a word,
Don’t tell mommy or daddy
Of the things that you’ve heard.

Close your eyes little Dolly
Never let yourself see
Those horrible things
The devil does to me.

Don’t listen little Dolly
Don’t hear me shed my tears.
Quiet so they can’t hear us
Away from their fears

Don’t feel little Dolly
Push the shame aside
No one will believe you
When all you do is cry.
