Wife By Marra PL. Lanot
As a tot she was Surrounded by fishbowl silence She had no horns No wings, no tail Just a smile nobody Noticed while adults Talked at mealtime. She did not ask what worth she had— Who am it or What is i. When guests arrived She gulped down food Slipped out of her chair And floated into her room Like a bubble and burst behind closed doors.
Now she’s an actress In search of a script. Sometimes she freaks out Tired of her horns Wings, tail, tired Of bowing, smiling For no one. Guests come And do not wonder who she is or Is she an it A doormat, an empty chair A wallflower or décor. She still remembers to Sneak out like a bubble Float into her room And burst behind closed doors. She is protected By her fishbowl silence.

Hi! I've read this so many times, yet I can't still understand the meaning of this poem. Can you help me comprehend this?
