Not Your Rag Doll

I'm tired of being played with.
I'm not a toy
that you can use
to amuse yourself
when it suits you,
and can abandon
when you're done.

You can't just leave me
sitting on a shelf,
waiting for you.

You can't break me,
tear out my stuffing,
and then toss me out,
and buy a replacement.

I'm not your toy,
your plaything.
I'm no rag doll.
