from the day I was born
I wasn't meant to belong to myself
a cursed being without any power of control
my fate was written
in a lazy handwriting
on a wrinkled piece of paper
very early in life I learned so
that I had strings tied to my limbs
and I'd never be able to walk alone
any glance of freedom
where I dared to dream
was followed by a unwanted label
I've always been
someone's sister
someone's youngest child
someone's crush
someone's heartbreak
but never
in the purest
the freest
form
me

I often lose myself because of other's expectations and labels
