Description
I was once my father’sDaughter-doll
So perfect and willing
That he dressed whichever way he pleased
I only wanted to see him smile
Tell me how much of an
Ideal daughter I was
And then I became your
Wife-doll
So loyal and devoted
I wanted to please you
Make you love me
Make myself feel like I belonged
Like you actually wanted me
The children were born,
And they soon became
My dolls
So sweet and loving and care-free
They loved me for me, myself
I used to play with them so happily
The same way you used to play with me
That’s what our home was
A doll-house
—a doll house complete with
Unneeded things to make you dutifully happy,
To make me live the dream of
Being a wife
Being a mother
But my dolls soon grew up to be
Independent-dolls
With lives of their own in tow
With ideas of tomorrow
And fast-fading memories of family
Trapped in their conforming, compliant heads
Soon to forget about their mother-doll
And now I’m an
Alone-doll
With my husband-doll gone
Lost to sweet the abandonment
Of rebellion and
Dreams of a better life
Without me
Lately, however, I’ve been an
Old-doll
With my life lived and soon forgotten
Memories of the past bittersweet cotton
Choking me senseless
I’m now finished with playing my role in
Doll-life
