You Don’t Own Me
October 8, 2011
I am not yours for the picking
I am not food to be devoured
You can’t buy me flowers
and think I’m yours forever
I am not a doll to be played with
I am not a slave to be bought
You cannot feed me your sweet lines
and expect me to fall at your feet
I am the wine that is savored
I am the golden sun when it sets
Your pity tokens will not
buy my affections
I am a perfect puddle on a rainy day
I am the minute school ends
You do not own me so
don’t pretend like you do.
