I Cry Everyday

I CRY EVERYDAY

Why would I cry every day?
What do I do  to stop this weeping?
It is my marriage that brings those tears
Tears of no joy...I mean gnashing of teeth 
Yet still on earth with no intent to visit hellfire

My tears are of an abused lady enslaved 
Trapped in a contraption called wedding
I now know why my other friends wants to be free
Free from the mundane atrocities of a marriage 
Free from the bondages that comes with wedlock

Get away from the strife and knife of the In-laws
My In-laws are bitches of high level degree
Really, they are members of the witches and wizards club
They dine with long nails in their corners
My husband as an initiated one laugh out loud

I am continually ignored as if I was dead
I wish to join their cult when I am at my In-laws'
My presence irritate them from within
Their young ones lack all sorts of manners
I am disrespected at will even with my husband's will
