Rag Doll
I’m a rag doll
I will do as you like
Smile, clean, be at your call
I know this must sound wonderful
Though rag dolls have
no soul, No life, no enthusiasm
We are empty
we have given up
We tried fighting a battle
We knew even if we won
There would be no prize
It’s our fault he lost
We did it,
we were at fault for winning
Nothing changes
The blame is still beaten into us
Don’t dare asking questions
Don’t dare have him explain
Don’t dare have fight for justice
Drop your weapons
accept your unfair reward
You earned it
Don’t move
Just take it
Be a rag doll
About this poem
The life of a woman discouraged by her spouse. The lies and mantras she must say to justify the cruel ness she ensures everyday. She is selling a product many woman have but can’t escape, sharing the symptoms the ailment she has of domestic abuse. The mental state she feels.
