Misconceptions

With hopeful eyes
a heart full of love
the bride and groom
take their vows
bathed in the glow
of pure happiness
budding dreams
and tender joy....

Who stepped in
what went wrong
why don't we just
leave them alone
What is this heavy
burden they carry
will they ever
let go....

Marriage?..
is it about giving
up your freedom
your individuality
Who twisted this relationship
from something sacred
to undefined suffocating
misconceptions....

We have rolls to play
and we play them
with put-on maturity
and false importance
and end up inheriting
generations of mistakes
and continue to miss out on
that glow we stepped into....
