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.

Many of us live in a fantasy land, we enter things with the view/expectations we already thought would be, but then sometimes it is the complete opposite of what we expect. Great poem!

Cool story right there, it's as if she's a new sports car or something, a trophy wife. Well done and well written. The Raggedy Ann picture was pretty funny too. :)
