You do not own me,
I am not a possession.
You do not own me,
I am not your trophy,
your crown,
the head above the fire place.
You do not own me,
I am not yours to do so.
I was never the possession, the crown,
the trophy.
I am not yours to train to behave like a performing tiger,
a well behaved dog.
I am not yours to manipulate, to control,
To tell what I should be doing.
I do not owe you anything.
I was never one to be controlled.
I do not owe you anything,
I was never a possession.
We do not owe you anything.
We are not the pawns in your game,
to be set against each other,
a grisly game of minds and emotions.
You will learn one day,
a soul should not be a possession,
nor something you own with pride.
