Dinda Minardi Poet Free verse

You Trap Us Inside Your Jars

After several weeks of caresses
You seduce me to lock my soul inside a jar

I’m glad and sad I’m not the only one
Glad that I’m not the only stupid
Sad that women make mistakes repeated

You classify us by our characteristics
Treat us emotionally sadistic
You make us feel pathetic

You are to rate us and decide who’ll be retired
To be dumped and spitted
After your several testing phases

How many jars been decorating your shelf?
How can we escape from you and temptation towards ourselves?

Timothy Hicks March 12, 2013 at 11:59 PM I'm sure there are many that can relate to this... sad to say there will always be those kind of people who view partners as prisoner and people as things. You've expressed your passion and anger very well in this. Well done!

Michael Smith April 29, 2012 at 4:43 PM So there are these unrighteousness men who steal virtue and use them as selfish trophies. Your articulation is well enjoyed through inspiration.
