You have tried to control me
and you have succeeded
You have tried to take what I am
and put it in a pocket
and control me
and take what I am and
say what I should be
in a grim world
of dark shadows.
No you can’t!!
I will not be controlled
by your desire for power
and lost energy.
I am free!!
Please leave me alone so I can grow
in the garden of my own making
and my own design.
I don’t belong to you or anyone
I am ME!
You have no control over me.
Let me breathe!
Let me be!!
