DOLLHOUSE(Coral)
•Hey girl,
open your walls
Play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family •

Coral Jackson sat at home in her room. She'd been adopted into a loving family that was perfect... For the first few days at least.

•when you walk away
Is when we really play
You don't hear me when I say
Mom ,please wake up
Dad's with a girl•

She had walked down the hallway when she say her father,Mike, In the garage with a trashy looking bleach blonde female. Coral had no idea what they were doing but she knew enough to know that her father was cheating. She ran up to Sally's room to find her mother asleep.

"Momma,momma,please wake up,there's a girl down stairs with daddy!" Of course her plea fell on deaf ears.

•and your son is smoking cannabis
No one ever listens
This wallpaper glistens
Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen •

Coral found her brother, two days later, smoking and it angered her. Why was it like this?! Why did they have to be so dysfunctional! "Smoking is bad for you,you're going to get cancer." She told him,only for him to shove her down. "Like I really care,brat."
Coral ran to her room and screamed into her pillow. She had tears running down her cheeks as she held the stuffed bear in her arms

• places,places
Get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture picture
Smile for the picture
Pose with your brother
Won't you be a good sister ?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things nobody else sees.•

When guests came over, they acted. It was routine. She'd put on a dress and put in pigtails,and act cutesy,when really she hated this house. Then the family photo. She sat in her brothers lap. To be a good little girl,a good sister.

Everyone thought she was perfect,but looks are deceiving.

•hey girl,look at my mom
She's got it going on
Ha!
You're blinded by her jewelry •
Her mom saw the lipstick stains on the nape of her father's neck and confronted him. The fighting started. Things got  progressively worse from there.

•When you turn your back
She pulls out a flask
And forgets his infedelity.
Oh oh,she's coming to the attic
Plastic
Go back to being plastic
No one ever listens
This wallpaper glistens
One day they'll see what goes down in the kitchen.•

It was at one point she saw her mother pull out a flask and take a drink. Coral ran to her mother to take it away only to be yelled at. Later her mom brought in a doll as a bribe to forget what happened. Coral didn't. The doll looked like a small boy and she officially named him Len.

Her parents fought again before long and Coral broke down. She couldn't take it. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her. Len had manifested as a human. He hugged her, trying to help her forget about the dreadful fighting. She sat ,curled up  in his arms as the door slammed. "It's gonna be okay Cora-chan..." He whispered to the silently crying child.

I see things nobody else sees...•
She and Len stayed like that. Coral wondering if things would work out...
I wondered how things would be if I applied the song "dollhouse" to Corals life. Here's the result. Song ain't mine
