Chain On My Brain

That is what you want.

Chain On My Brain

No!

I said No!

There is no chain on my brain

You cannot pull me

Whichever way you feel like

You cannot decide for me

You cannot tell me what I am feeling

Or how and what to think

You cannot control me

No! 

I am not some test subject to be studied

I am not to be caged 

Because of thought or feeling

Or because of my voice

I am not a slave to the human race

I am not a slave to power

Nor am I a slave to greed and money

If I am a slave to anything

I am a slave to soul and empathy

To the cries, and screams of voices unheard

To the things of life that we continue to destroy

To the child whose voice is too young to matter or be considered

To the person who never gets a word in

And to the human beings whose hearts and souls are caged

By power

No! 

I am my own power

I will make my own choices

Decide my fate

Be who I want to be

Not what you tell me to be

I don't belong caged in the shadows

And fears of my mind

No! 

I am me

You cannot take that

And use it for your personal gain

For power, or for fun

I am not, nor will I ever submit to be your slave

I cannot and will not be caged or put in chains

I am here to say I am my own voice

And you will never put chains on this brain

i love the strength exhibited in this piece...the speaker is her own person and will think and act for herself and not be used by anyone.

[Savannah Bly]

Thank you so much Jacob! :)

well, Savannah...this sounds like the rant of a teenager that didn't get their way. Maybe because I hear this type of thing a lot, perhaps...but I have a feeling there's more to this story, and I just scratched the surface. Good job!

Thank you!
