The #Trophy Wife out from Fables to the Wheels

She is not her identity
neither her own face that she bear
she is the name that she follows
and brands that she wears
She is often a pretty face
a pretty petite, please
laden with royal back
and gold embroidered
velvet grace
She often stands at the shore
mister's metaphorically legally wedded whore.
no offense intended madam
it is your image that populace bore.
Sometimes her man wanders,
toasting masts to blue seas
she acquires immunity to not pander,
while waiting patiently for him
she keeps her armor ready,
her secret weapons intact
and pull the string when needed
those things that have always worked for her
we have all read about her glory
her pearls and her ivory.
have we ever stepped back
to understand her more
know her grief
learn her story?
we label without bother,
adding mosses to her boulder.
Her path may be is litter
and rocky
might be her terrain,
she would have seen her own share of agony,
perchance, fluttered through casks of pain
and winds strong for her sails
she might have walked slowly
a step every moment
Least we can be so judgemental
Until we walked in her shoes
Or navigated a little thought
of its impact on others woe?
Not all that trophy is a steal
Some are real
some may be a big deal.
some a Spartan, some warrior
While some may be the dove eye lass
who caught in this rut of
being a trophy wife class.

Life ceases to move when are we are too opinionated, too entangled in our own little perception, judgement. Are we a victim of second-hand thinking? Or do we allow a room for empathy? Often we judge a book by the cover, a wine by its bottle. In the bargain, we forget about our capability to imbibe facts beyond vision, beyond our imagination. Like this picture post, we look at an object and we decipher what we could think of it. It is a perspective and it can be interesting. Beauty is when we leave it at that, without making it a universal rule or concluding.
Trophy wife, huh! Every woman will love to be a trophy wife if that means- she is a prized possession of her husband. Being an asset to someone, or being cherished by the most important man in your life, is a beautiful feeling. However, being labelled against your reality, anti-identity is unfair. As unfair is to succumb to the mediocrity of the popularly know trophy wife. You are the woman, you are the individual. You have to decide that whether you want to lead a life of cliché or get behind the wheel and start driving?
Whatever you do, remember. In a piano, both the keys, white and black, makes music together.
Have a Fantastico Day Ahead!
