I am not yours.A Poem by Maura AnsleyI am not your slave I am not yours to push around. You can’t touch me anymore I am a creature of hate a creature of pain unworthy according to you I am broken I am bruised I have the scars to show There’s a pain in my heart that will never truly be gone All because of you I guess I should thank you Because of you I am strong Because of you I am scarred I was broken But I have healed. I have grown I have broken through the boundaries you placed Shattered them as glass And now I am free. Flying away, never to be seen And you can never touch me again I am no longer yours Today I am mine I am not your hostage You keep me tied up feet in chains tongue in cheek. Hands clasped to my chest Begging for mercy But chains are too easily broken and cannot contain a creature like me I have grown I have broken through the boundaries you placed Shattered them as glass And now I am free. Flying away, never to be seen And you can never touch me again I am no longer yours Today I am mine I am not your puppet You pull me around, speaking for me acting for me but never take the blame but I have my own voice and I will use it to sing in the quiet of the night I have grown I have broken through the boundaries you placed Shattered them as glass And now I am free. Flying away, never to be seen And you can never touch me again I am no longer yours Today I am mine I am not your "perfect" Robot Surely it is me Surely I have done something wrong If I work a little harder try a little more No No. It is not me It is you you who hurt me You who led me you who strung me along But these chains were never meant to keep me and your words were never meant to bind me for so long They are barbed wires attached to my heart dripping more poison every second but I break free The poison doesn’t work anymore You used it too often and now it is worthless Now I am immune The scars and the pain are forever mine but I own them The blame the guilt I pass on to you I’ve kept them for far too long now You won’t use them anyways You never will But it doesn’t matter anymore It doesn’t matter because there is one thing that will never be yours I am not yours I am Mine © 2015 Maura Ansley |
