Wow! "'She may be weary wearing that same shabby dress"...Otis

I was built to carry life
But you only see me as a wife
Often lusting & staring at my rear
Choose to define me by what I wear
And even opt to judge me by my hair
You think you can buy me with a beer?
"All that I am..."

Wow! "'She may be weary wearing that same shabby dress"...Otis Redding. His song, "Try a LittleTenderness" came to mind while reading this thoughtful, insightful poem about women. Well done!
