Mary Robert's Stand: Choosing Sisterhood Over Duty

The Life I Never Led!

Mary Robert:

I've always been good,

I've always obeyed.

I've lived as you taught me,

I've prayed as you've prayed.

I've never once missed

a rule on your list.

I've done as a sister should do.

But now, I won't bend!

My sister's in need

of a sister right now!

And I will not stay

and blindly obey,

and just turn away

from what's true.

You promised one day God

would call me.

Isn't that what you said?

Well, this is that day,

this is that call.

I'm either a sister

or nothing at all.

So I'm going now,

or leaving forever instead.

It's time to start living

the life I never led!
