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.

Strong message and well stated. the flow is choppy at times. Sometimes you rhyme and then you don't.

I love this,
if you want a woman you can dress up and make what you want then go buy yourself a barbie doll. You can dress them up however you want and make them whatever you want them to be!-ha I heard a friend of mine say that once.
