I love the poem! Its the perfect description of a barbie doll. I should know I used to collect them.
In what it means to me, I see something I could never really become. I see the description of a girl that you may never met in reality. Many women try to become that doll that they so admired when they were just little girls with a dream and barbies dream house.
You asked me what this poem meant to me. Here is MY interpretation of a Barbie girl:
She may look perfect, but under that is a lot of inner trauma. Parents fighting, peer pressure, friends telling her to lose MORE weight so she becomes bullimic, they may give her a cigarette and she's addicted for life. She has to put on a facade to the rest of the world, but deep down she's suffering. I understand what it means to be a Barbie Girl. That's why I'm glad I'm not one.
Anyways, your Princess of Evil gives this a 4/5 :)
What do you see in this poem? What does it mean to you?
