Why I Don't Aspire to Get Married

Take his hand and the ring.
Keeping your last name? Oh the stigma it’ll bring.
An era of consumerism has arisen,
In which the rest of your life, you are left in a prison.
Never allowed to change,
Which, to me, is very strange.
Adam and Eve?
That is the most sexist thing that I have ever seen.
I don’t want to be given away,
And I don’t want my own individuality to decay.
I don’t think one person can satisfy all my needs.
I don’t need any knights or any steeds.
I’m perfectly fine just being me.
I didn’t realize that was so wrong to be.
