She would walk into a wedding always<\/p>\n
dressed in grace, bliss and happiness<\/p>\n
that the older ladies and gentlemen would<\/p>\n
label as ‘bold’ and ‘weird’<\/p>\n
for she would always pass by<\/p>\n
with her head held high<\/p>\n
even though she had no man by her side<\/p>\n
and would be much older than<\/p>\n
the bride.<\/p>\n
They whispered about her solo travels<\/p>\n
and shook their heads over what was surely<\/p>\n
to\u00a0be a lonely future.<\/p>\n
For she was the girl who<\/p>\n
was single and\u00a0strutted around,<\/p>\n
daring to be happy.<\/p>\n
They would talk, advise,<\/p>\n
squash discussions on choices by<\/p>\n
throwing words around ‘culture’ and ‘tradition.’<\/p>\n
In the meantime, she would just live.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
