Who do you think you are?A Poem by Karleem JohnsonSome of my best poems come when i'm angry or hurt.Who do you think you are? You don't own me, you don't control me! I am mine and mine alone, that's why my life's in MY control! Who do you think you are? I am no longer in your home,i'm old enough to get my own. Why won't you leave me alone? Who do you think you are? You've just too far,your "love" is why i have these scars! Meh! And you wonder why my heart's so hard. Who do you think you are? Trying to guide and steer MY life, you start rumors and backbite, until all my friends are out of sight, what gives you the right? Who do you think you are? You said you'll fight me for my life? I'll fight with such savagery! If i have to scratch and kick and bite! Who do you think you are? You tried so hard to keep me in your cage but i just grew stronger with age, and fueled by my own rage, i smashed right out of your stupid cage!! Who do you think you are? Finally free of your bars, I'll fight and WIN this war! Then i won't worry about you anymore. © 2013 Karleem Johnson |
