I'm Not Your Rag-doll!

I'm not your little lark,
or your cute little squirrel,
I'm your wife...
I'm not a rag-doll!

You can't dress me up,
and change me
to fit into your
made-up life style

I'm a mother,
a wife,
and a woman,

I'm not meant to be paraded
around at parties,
but to be there for you,
only you never give me the time of day,
because your so wrapped up in
keeping an image...

Yes I know I've made mistakes,
but I own up to them...

You're my husband,
you're suppose to be
my knight in shining armor
you're supposed to protect me
in my time of need,
but you're never around...

Author's Note

In my English class we read the stage-play "A Doll's House", it was really good. I hope you guys like it.
Yes, it is a picture of Raggedy Ann :)

Very strong .I see a mother in the kitchen with a frying pan.he has her self indulged husband backed up against the washer and he is about to piss his new armoni buisness suit cause he isn't sure what she put in the coffee he just drank,and he isn't feeling to well....I'm getting carried away.

Wow. I just have to say. I just adore this poem. Reminds me of the 1930s and feminine activists. Great portrayal.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Another great write with some truth to it, sadly I see it and hear about it. That shouldn't be.

[Coyote Poetry]

Your words are true. Need two strong people to stand together to make a good life. I like your logic in your words. Thank you for a excellent poem.

People really need to repect women. We definately aren't meant to be paraded around of displayed for show! People need to be married because of love, not because of want and trophies. I loved this poem! Well Done~
