More from ~acidlullaby

The Rag DollShe built her home in tear drops
And gave her heart to the sky.
She tied up leaves
Around her sleeves
And pretended she could fly.

One morning in mid Winter
On a day that felt more like Spring,
She opened her ears
To the sound of tears
And imagined she could sing.

Overhead the birds would sweep
In sunshine or in rain.
Part of a crowd
They were happy and proud
And ignorant of her pain.

With a final farewell to teardrops
She climbed the tallest tower...
In her silent voice
She made her choice
Knowing freedom was in her power.

With her gaze up to the heavens
She felt then only peace,
As she took one step more
That trailed
Life and Death of Puppet GirlOnce there was a puppet girl
Who lived close to the beach.
She wanted to go down to the sea
But it was always out of reach.

In her room by night and day,
Imprisoned by her strings,
She'd wait and sleep and sometimes pray
For the news the sea breeze brings.

One morning when the sun was shining
And the birds were flying high
She heard the distant sound of crying
That was carried through the sky.

The sound of this then grew louder
Until it filled her room
Until her drooping wooden head
Was steadily filled with gloom.

"Why won't this crying stop" she said
"Why won't this go away?"
"I want the crier to drop dead
And not disturb

This is an experiment to see if I can recreate the style of the Taiwanese artists such as Chen Shu Fen.
