Did I claim to be more than a pile of junk? Did I beg you for a donation that I knew wasn't in your budget? No, I only came to you with a collection of trust in one hand, and a chapter book on my battles and war wounds in the other. I have always been on the discount rack marked down so anyone could afford me. I was never "name brand" or designer I never came with an outrageous price tag. I'm just a lonely knockoff with obvious defects sitting on the shelf until someone who's not bothered by imperfection comes to claim me. All I want is a bargain shopper. Someone with simple needs and simple arms that simply want to embrace me and prove I'm worth more then I charge. I want just once to not be laid off or picked off like lint and flicked aside. We are not all the same. We can't all bang out the dents, and flip that man right out of our hair. Some of us are made of glass, even if we aren't marked "You Break, You Buy" So try not to touch us, unless you can afford it. |
