Ideal Woman
How I was raised..
I am the ideal woman.
I do not say this out of ego or belief
I was raised to be this woman.
I’ve been told constantly I am perfect
I am what every man looks for
I am the ideal woman.
I was taught to fill a belly full, no need for seconds
I was taught to eradicate all the dirt and dust,
How to make dirty clothes clean.
I am the ideal woman
This is true to a fault
If it were the 1900’s I would’ve been married off by now
I would have a husband
A family
I am not made for my year
I was made for the past
I am Twenty-one years old
And I am undesirable for this century.
I was taught how to be a wife
Never a girlfriend.
I was taught that a family is what will complete me
Not to be myself
I am the ideal woman
I was taught that the man is always right
I was to keep my opinions to myself
I was taught to do as I am told
I am the ideal woman
I was taught sex is sacred
A secret I must keep until I am bound by marriage
I am the ideal woman
I am perfect for everyone but nobody
Doomed to want but never be wanted.
I am not ideal for today
I am criticised and mockedÂ
I am told someone, someday
I am told to change and adapt
I am the lonely woman

Hi Ivy well this is another decent poem here! I felt kind of sad reading this. Knowing what you want is always a good thing but never, ever store your happiness by a relationship. One thing I have learned is that Happily Ever After is pretty much non existent. If you put everything into a relationship, all of you, there's a very good chance that you will not be treasured by your other half, you will find yourself taken for granted. You are setting yourself up for unrequited love — been there, done that and, trust me it is a very painful place to be. It is always best practise to be happy with, and in, yourself. Let a relationship be the cherry atop the cake never let it be the cake itself. I hope you get what you are looking for but please, please make yourself your top priority. Your poetry is good, please keep writing x
you are a child of Heavenly Father whom is loved beyond your imagination! and you will find the right one when it is right! you have freedom of choice from Him! choose wisely!......................Jim
