I have to go get things ready
I need to look good and pose for the camera
That’s an instruction given to me
Cause I’m going to be a display object to see
My mom says I have to be perfect
My family mocks at my age
Fearing I had die a spinster at old age
They tell me to prepare
Disobeying them I cannot dare
You are lucky
At least you had a choice
I was all dolled up for the day
Everything went their way
I had no clue
I was not prepared
To start a journey out of the blue
But then nobody ever asked me
Oh!! please stop complaining
You are happy your parents did things right
At least you don’t feel lonely at night
I sit alone waiting for my family to take the first step
I try and explain
But they tell me its too early
Though I’m thirty, nearly..
At least your families are happy
The most important day for you
Will be filled with joy and laughter
I have always been independent
I know what I want
But to no one it matters
I have my new life waiting for me
It’s hard my family can ignore it
It’s hard to believe they cannot see
The love, the joy I feel
Everything for them is far from real
They want me to change for them
They don’t mind if I have to die alone
As long as I follow the path they show
Marriage a bond so strong
It is a relation that will last you life long
It is a language spoken by all
It is common for both the short and tall
Yet we see so many interpretations
So many different variations
To reason known and reason that will always remain the same
No matter what religion, name
