Nontherner?

I was staring at a mute movie, watching in awe 

because I felt different

I felt like a taboo

Whether I'm truthful or belligerent about it 

I'm a descendant of folks 

Folks that believe this union is a female-child's reason to live 

or at least validates the reason

Or worse case, insinuates

Most of my peers were stuck in the limbo of the partner search 

while others decided to do it all by themselves

I was told the purr of the pussycat won't suffice

Is it true though? 

Is my heart too tough for a woman, capable of bringing another life? 

Does a place exist in there to love another?

I wonder every night 

what the reaction would be 

if I got to talking about my feelings on the topic of 

a "blessed union"

Knowingly I would start with the purpose the sanctity it serves 

and justify the inefficiency of this 

yet another factor in our day to day

My thoughts of the union rather than the idea of the union

3000 tears I sometimes shed because I am an Outkast 

who sees the crumbling sanctuary 

where everyone poses as blind

To each is his own

I wonder what could happen if I object the proposal 

Will I be cursed? 

Will I be forced? 

Will my inner strength weaken my voice to condone this treachery that's next?

Sweet Lady with a bold voice yet can't be heard

Another pretty face where the shining rays mask the beauty

What will be the repercussion of such vile thoughts?

To have is to hold

Will I be the girl that's left alone?
