The Ideal Wife

In a room filled with laughter, she stood unsure,

Serving dinner as they chuckled, not comprehending.

Unseen burdens within her heart, she bore,

Embracing her husband's world, her devotion unending.

Humiliated by the eyes that gazed upon her,

Their playful jests cut deep, yet she joined in the cheer.

Concealing her pain, she stood proud and tall,

Her sorrow was masked by a smile.

Invisible to them, her resilience was rife,

Within her resides the epitome of an ideal wife.
