May 2017
I lie alone in these sheets
While you're roaming the streets, for you
No I will not lower my voice
It's my life my choice, not you
Society stares with judgmental glares
As I walk out the door and away, from you
I do not recall at what moment I began to fall
From a walk to a crawl, for you
Panic stricken as these chains thicken
But noting will hold me, not even you
I see victory within my reach
No I won't listen to others preach on behalf, of you
There will be no apologies in a whispered voice
For making my choice for me, not you
You took away the best part of me
Replacing her with a cardboard copy, of you
I am not clay I cannot be molded in a way
That suits only the needs, of you
