Took Her Husband’s Last Name

She took her husband’s last name, as she was, supposed to, mandated, by the “norms” she was, raised with…

and this, is waht that looks like, “legally”, that is…

Took her husband’s last name, but that was, until, she’d realized, that he wasn’t, who he said he was, and, she’d gone back, on how she’d taken her husband’s last name, to be used, as her own. Took her husband’s last name, she’d done so, because that, was the “written law” (Where is it written, the LAW, that you’re supposed to, take your husband’s last names???), and she’d followed that “rule of thumb” as the women who preceded her had done, they all knew their places, she thought she was, satisfied, living their lives too, until, until, until, one day, she woke, like from her deep slumber, took one look at her own reflection in the dresser mirror, and realized that that, wasn’t who she wanted to be, the woman looking BACK at her.

And so, she took her husband’s last name, and, she’d, trashed HIS last name, tore up that marriage certificate, hammered that wedding band (you know, like in those divorce ceremonies???), and, she took what was rightfully hers, and, ran off into the sunset, by herself…
