My head in hands My weeping stifled the creatures in my head swirling screaming tormenting each and every thought daring enough to cross my mind. each comment a blow to my character. These spiraling insecurities unthinkably true. Could it be true? Swampy hands pulling me under under civilization a whirlpool of consumerism selling the next thing selling me I DON'T WANT TO BE SOLD I battle these ideas, these values being forced upon me They lock me in jail. I plead They only stare back at me with stone hard eyes. I pout. I will not be sold I will not be some media ********** I am me. I cannot be advertised. I cannot be owned. "Take your commanding hold of me" I will not succumb to your sickly media culture I will not hold off for you. You may hold me in this suffocating cell for as long as you please I may live and die a captive But I will never be yours
