Warning Label


Warning! Warning!

Do not open unless you are sure you want her. She is a lot to handle.

This doll is very fragile so please be careful with her.

Do not roll up her sleeves unless you are prepared for horror; the cuts and bruises are from former holders.

She smiles, but when you leave her alone, she cries.

She breaks any relationship she touches…

she never means to. It’s just her toxic levels are high.

Warning!

Her mouth sewed shut with unsaid words and secrets.

Her heart is no longer red, the flame within drowned in darkness.

Her smile is bright, but her eyes are tired.

Warning!

This doll is ugly. I am not sure why you bought her in the first place.

I would return her before she gets attached.

Warning! Warning!

This doll is me…
