Bachelor

 You ask me to make a move

In a game I don’t want to play

It’s not about 'yes' or 'no' anymore

Because no matter what I say

You only hear the answer

That’s already in your head

You give me all these options

Let me give you one instead

So I’m letting you decide

How and when I make my bed

And if I get to lie in it

It’s not about the shoe anymore

Or whether it will fit

It’s about the social pressure

And my aging older self

A bachelor of twenty five is unheard off

For the family it’s a disgrace

Then let me make this easy

On all those parties involved

I can’t win or lose

If I’m not running in this race.

It is interesting how social pressures applied by families and friends when it comes to marriage. But some of us choose not to fall into that trap. And some of us may never marry at all.

I only hope that in the future, without children, you don't come to regret that you didn't have a family of your own. I think about what could have happened, but didn't. Still I'm comfortable with not having children. There are certainly nieces and nephews enough for me to spoil.
