Shallow

I've lived a life of solitude
Slightly similar than you 
Not behind bars 
and no free meals 
There is no guards
telling me what to do 

Some might say I live a luxury life
I'm taken care of as a trophy wife
its not glamorous like the title says
I get the job done no earlier than ten 

My daughters are very rambunctious 
its me telling them quite and stop it 
sometimes they obey 
but what can I say 
their my children and I love them 

I'm a good enough mother 
to teach my kids manners
in the past I haven't been so great 
but if my husband knew
who I am 
he wouldn't believe I'm a slacker 
taking time 
to collect  my shallow rhymes 
he digs for dirt faster
