everyone asks me how’s school and when will i get married
and don’t worry, if i just pray, jesus has a perfect man picked out for me
because it no longer matters that i wanted to do well in school
and nobody remembers that i was top of my class
because now i am single and childless
and that’s still what matters here
that’s still what people see
and ask about
when you are the maid of honor
at your younger sister’s wedding
