 A New Woman

i wasn't good enough for a Pakistani


written at 22 years old

I am a misfit
Your lifestyle i just don't fit
I'm at the bottom of the pit
You said I'm no good for the reality
You said I'm part of your fantasy
the girl you always dreamed you would marry
I was beautiful and you loved my personality
I was intelligent, who made great food and cleaned up well and was super witty
I was fun with the banter and my family and i were great and funny
Yet something struck a wild beast that ate the bunny

so what we don't look the same
So what we see differently it aint lame
I can't play your families game
i can't handle the shame
Each time i do wrong I'm always the blame

Now its so bad
Let me think if a child i ever had
It will be so sad
I'd be alone struggling not just a tad
You'd be such a cad
Following the twitter of whatever mom said or your dad
If they told you to leave me you'd go and leave me on the streets with our girl and our lad
I've seen it happen and it makes me so mad

So sick of being different why can't everyone just see me as human
You too are a human, yet we cling to stupid men
I prefer being the misfit
To me my life isn't perfect, but its the right fit
I can't live your life i can do it right, but I'm not who you are so I'm not good enough I'm not a hit
I'm just a useless, worthless git
AND NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT

so what we don't look the same
We don't eat the same
Or live the same
WE'RE BOTH MUSLIM what i have to do to tame

I'd rather walk away
then when i do you sit and cry as the breeze will sway
Yet i just cannot live this way
So sorry i had to go away

My family stood by me to be with you
Yet your family said i was rubbish and not good enough when they said i was perfect to my face boy i didn't have a clue
They were the way they were yet how you listen you must be like glue
