Never

People think I'll change my mind because "everyone else does"
Who doesn't want to get married and have children?
They can't conceive, if you'll excuse the pun
That human motherhood is not for me
(pets are welcome) that my body
Will never play host to
An unwanted, unwelcome, invader
Change my mind?
No, no,
Never
