Marriage and Me

There were two different girls in my psychology class that had gotten married over the summer.

 

Here I am having never gone on a date or been kissed

I haven’t had a crush in years or been crushed on by anyone

I can’t see myself meeting someone in the near or distant future

I have never been in love

And two different girls in my psychology class got married over the summer

 

Here I am staying in my room all day

I cut off all of my friends quickly and without turning back

I don’t feel like talking to my roommates

I don’t hang out with friends

And two different girls in my psychology class got married over the summer

 

Here I am still trying to figure out how to be an adult

I struggle with making my own meals

I don’t know how to drive

I am still using my parent’s insurance and my dad does my taxes

And two different girls in my psychology class got married over the summer

 

So, here I am alone and perpetually single

I am trying to get it all together

I don’t have the energy to put up with people

I am not mature enough or independent enough and I don’t see how anyone my age could be

And yet, two different girls in my psychology class got married over the summer
