From A To Z
I was watching this documentary about arranged marriage and how it is such a normal thing in certain cultures and how people are doing everything they can to escape that, including suicide. I was thinking about that and decided to write this.
But this one is out of the ordinary,
Can you handle it?
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Everything was going great,
Finally things were falling into place,
Granted there were a few obstacles here and there,
He wasn't always prince charming.
In a perfect world, they'd live happily ever after,
Just like in the fairy tales we grew up reading,
Keep reading, this is a book you can't put down,
Like wine, it gets better over time.
Making sure they don't make the same mistake their parents did,
Not given a chance to spend their life with the one they love
Oppressing their feelings just to conform to society,
Pretending for the sake of acceptance.
Quietly they set sail,
Reaching a whole new world of freedom,
Standing up for what they believe in,
This crazy, ridiculous thing called love.
Uproot themselves they did, to start anew,
Venturing into the world hand in hand,
When it came to their future being arranged for them, they shut the door.
Xenial as they may be.
You will see in the end,
Z to A or A to Z, you cannot plan love.
