Description Jealousy doesn’t suit you, china doll
Your porcelain face looks quite vile
When it is contorted with malcontent
And when translucent patches of your skin
Slip out from under the ruffles of silk
It is unsavoury in our eyes
And you scowl will beady yellow eyes
To detect imperfection in our bodies and clothes
So you can build your wretched self up
And you try to forge worlds with your words
But your poetry tries too hard to please
So you cry tears of acid
They admonish us from coming nearer
Oh china doll, you’re not as charismatic as you thought
And you really are alone
Because everyone could see
How execrable and wrung your mind is
And how detached you are from your heart

I like it to I like how you've used... personification? Is that what I mean? Anyway, it's good.

sure personification of the doll... but the most obvious thing is the metaphor involving the doll
thanks

Yes, that too!
