I am not a girl who knows
everything about a man’s world.
I am not a girl who is willing
to be in the sidelines
just for the fun of it.
I am a girl who is willing
to fight and fight
for something that she wants
in her lifetime.
I am a girl who holds her fate
in her own hands
because she can and she will.
It is not terrible to think
of me as dependent
because I only depend on myself.
I just don’t want to
walk pretty to the altar.
I want to be the girl
who saved anyone from
the cruel world we live in.
I want to be the girl whose family name
rises from the grave once more.
But we know a woman takes
the family name of a man,
it’s what society expects from us.
If I marry you, I don’t want to be
the woman who stays at home
all the damn time. And time!
If I marry you, I want to be a part
of something bigger than the two of us.
