Why 'cuz I'm Single? by Mary -BrytEyz- Ball

Why, 'cuz I'm single
should I feel any shame?
Why does the world think
my life's boring and lame
Both snowflakes and sunsets
each one's not the same
Yes each one is different
For that there's no blame

Why 'cuz I'm single
not a wife or a mother
Can't I be original
NOT like every other
For I am complete
and don't need another
I want to be alone
if I'd my druthers

Why 'Cuz I'm single
do folks point and stare
Why do they whisper
when they think I can't hear
It really shouldn't bother me
I know I shouldn't care
I try to not listen
but still it's not fair!

Why 'cuz I'm single
should I go out and date
When it's not what I want -
I don't want a mate!
For then I'd be yoked
and possibly hate
Accepting his lead
and things that he'd state

Why 'cuz I'm single
must I want to have sex
Why does Satan always
think HIS way is the best
Why do folks dump someone
just to look for the next
If they'd listen to Jah
why, then they'd be set

Why 'cuz I'm single
do they think I'm not sane
And then dare to tell me
that my choice is but bane
Singlehood's not something
that causes me any pain
And maybe I don't want
that old ball and chain

Why 'cuz I'm single
do I sometimes regret
And think like they do
my decision's forget
It's times like these I hear
God say, "No worries! Don't fret!"
Of all my decisions
this is the best one yet

Why? Cuz I'm single!
That's why I've the time
To do what I want
in my youth and my prime
I am proud of the fact
being single's no crime
Like snowflakes and sunsets
I'm one of a kind!
----------------------------
I've a friend who's single and WANTS to be. Others won't leave her alone and keep trying to fix her up with someone and tell her that her life's not complete. Sometimes she begins to wonder, but in the end she's happy with her decision and wishes others would just leave her alone. I wrote her a poem the other day and thought I'd share it with you. I'm sure you're tired of all my sad love songs anyway... lol. So, here's something a bit different. Let me know if you've any ideas on improvement. I'm always open for them.
