 Just For Thought

Possession


I'm my own person.
I make my own choices.
I live my own life.

I am not an object to be claimed.
Nor am I a pet to be owned.
If I were anything to you,
I would be your equal.

Not governed for your lack
Of trust;
Not suspiciously accused
For your lack of faith;
Not chained or tied down
For your lack of confidence in me.

I belong to myself.
Only I can choose to share
My life with another.
Please know, I'm no fool.

I would not ever give my heart to you.
I would only share it.
For once you've given your heart away,
Some become like greedy fools.
Under the assumption that it becomes
Theirs alone; no longer my own
To control or chain with boundaries.

Those who are wise will only share
Their heart, not give it away.

I feel I've made my point.
If you find you've overlooked it
Then my friend, you must be blind.

I am not someone's possession.
I'm my own person with my own mind.
My own decisions and opinions.
My own life to live out.

I'm like a bird soaring high above
The mountains.
Independent and free spirited.
My wings refuse to be bound.
