I got holes in my socks
And my feet are cold
And my shoes are worn out
Cause they are old

I guess I walk too much
And talk too little
And I'm not 5'1 or 5'2
I'm stuck in the middle

I'm really short,
Short as an elf
Got to climb on the counter
To reach that shelf

I'm small,
But I'm not a toy
I'm fragile,
So don't mess with me boy

Don't mess with my heart
Cause it'll break
I'm not sure how much more
It can take

    Lovely piece... despite the rhyme and beat of the words, this character portrays a very raw and real emotion that I can tell you put a lot of feeling into.
    As you tell me that my pieces have a lot to do with mirrors and relationships, I can say that you have a relationship theme as well... ;)
