Barbie Doll

While reading this poem I pictured a girl in high school who was only trying to be like everyone else. Some "popular" girls took it upon themselves to comment on her "big nose and fat legs". Bullying her to the point that she no longer felt like she wanted to live. She had beautiful inner beauty that others apparently couldn't see. When the speaker mentioned "she cut off her nose and her legs and offered them up" (17) I pictured a paper doll that she destroyed. In the end I felt like she took her own life and others finally accepted her.
