My Choice


Because I love you,

I deserve to have your passwords.

 

Because I love you,

I should know where you are 24/7.

 

Because I love you,

I can touch you.

 

Did you notice these all started with “I”?

What about me; what about my choices.

If you really loved me you would care for me,

You wouldn’t take advantage of me,

And you definitely should trust me.

Just because your’e the other dominant,

DOESN’T mean you have power over me.

We are equal human beings and I don’t like being objectified as how you portray me.

I’m a person not a toy,

I’m not an object,

So stop belittling me!

When I write poems, it's a way for me to let all my emotions out, and to be free and real with not just myself but also other people too. I want my poems to mean something to someone and maybe even help them.
