Poems explained #3

Please note that there is no right or wrong way to interpret poetry or art in my opinion. Whatever thoughts or feelings that come up when you read it are valid and correct. I encourage you to take a moment to get acquainted with those emotions. This exercise will give you some insight on your state of mind and heart.

Poems:

Doll face perfect

Body full of scars

Doll face now wrinkled

And a heart that went through war

Author’s perspective:

Doll face perfect : a reference to ones youth

Body full of scars: physical trauma due to physical, mental and/or sexual abuse.

Doll face now wrinkled: a reference to aging but not necessarily being a senior, aging as in maturing and growing out or being forced out of our innocence/youth

Heart that went through war: reference to wounds and scars that are invisible to the world.
