Untitled

Don't say he ruined me.

He didn't

He took something without invitation

He stole

He sullied himself

 

I will not speak his name

I will not give him power

 

I will not have you define me

By his actions

I am not lessened

Or depraved

By his trespass

 

I am simply angry

At his presumption

That by taking from me

He would have me

 

I am not a possession

I am not to be owned

 

I am still my own agent

And his name shall not be spoken with mine
