Cry

17

Don't fall in love,
They say.

But don't stay lonely forever,
They add.

And don't be a slut,
They continue on.

Get married and have kids,
They ask of me.

Get a job and take care of those kids,
They expect from me.

Be loyal and stay fit,
They require.

Don't do this,
Or I'll do that,
They threaten.

It's like a spin the wheel on my life,
And what happens isn't my choice.

My fate is in the hands of the spinner.

My life is chosen by the people I've grown up with.

I don't ever get a say.
