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.

That is clearly expressed with direct thoughts , and inspires me to think of how long I would like to stay in that feeling (whining ?) . . . Thinking of Joggerty John , I hear your call . . . So I might come back to this with a puppet play scene . . . but remember , the Ideas Are Free :) . . . co-creational exchange of ideas is flowering here , I love it , smiles

I think this got this woman's message across :P
Strong emotion, assertive, and the point was easily made. This was a good write, and it flowed pretty well.
Suppose
*Supposed.
Only grammar problem I saw.
Good job :)

very well spoken and nicely formatted. no one should have to put up with being mistreated, especially by their significant other. here's what you do: slip a roofy in his drink, wait till he's passed out, dress him up in your most feminine lingerie and take lots of pictures, then...post them all over the web and show them to all his friends. tell them this is the real him that he shows only to you. he'll either calm down or end up in jail for attempted homicide and, quite frankly, i don't see you as the "victim" type. you go girl! great poem!!!

[Fallacy Pharmacy]

How very beautiful and strong-I see you are a very inspiring writer. Keep up the great work :)

[Kevin Horsley]

Ah, the trophy wife or the slave or maybe it's the woman who suspects more than what is actually going on.
One or two typos:
you're suppose to be - you're supposed to be (and the same 2 sentences down)

Other than that a poem of 2-sides depending on the perspective (do the neighbours hear it through the walls, the friends at the pub and just how well presented is she when she says, shouts, argues these words?)

[Grace Catherine C.]

It's good, nice job!

[Kiari Sabon]

i like it

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

Excellently written with power my friend.

this can actually be taken from both sides of the base....very observational!
