We Are Not Things framed by a doorway

while i get an abisive relationship i do think it could be better connected by cutting unneeded words. i pointed out a couple but thee are more. some word use could be better...[i am no plate to throw...]
in places it feels forced to fit the meter. for me it could be stated with a fair bit more brevity.

I was not born for begging you to let me in
Freezing, dying at your door
I was not bred for you to judge as I atop
Scaffolds stand in scarlet red

We Are Not Things, she said on walls in desert white
Sacrificing splendid queen
I Am Not Thing, but thanks to you I learned to smile ?
Shut up as you all kill me

I am not plates, to throw against a concrete wall
?Shatter me to soothe your rage
I am not wall, to beat and batter, smash and ram
Cannot crumble, doesn't fall

I am just girl, who loves and breaks and fights and mends
Casting you out of her world
