I Am Not Yours


I am not yours 

I will not be owned

I have opinions

I refuse to be the meek and mild child

I am not something you can define with a single word

I am everything and nothing

Nothing to you

And everything to myself

You do not own me

I dont care that you raised me

That you birthed me

I owe you nothing

Not guilt for taking up your money

Not apologies for who I am

You raised me if you don't like me look in the mirror

You choose me not the other way around

I am not yours
