Russian Doll
You are a Russian doll.
Intricate by design.
Delicate by nature.
Beautiful by feature.
You are a Russian doll.
Complex at best.
Simple yet difficult.
The same but distinctly different to the rest.
You are a Russian doll.
You possess many layers.
You fulfill certain desires.
The want to collect.
You are not a Russian doll.
Because as your layers are stripped you cease to be beautiful.
You become less.
With each dissection you grow in ugliness.
And juxtaposed in a row your whole is less than the sum of your parts.
