Unorthodox

by Latorial Faison

it's unorthodox to say some things
those things from which salvation rings
 
i hate my life, don't need a man,
i can take care of myself, don't want children

it's not ladylike to travel roads
refusing man's twice fertile loads

it's crazy to be a single woman
they say being so is a bad omen

being orthodox, what does it mean?
that i should die before i dream
