I am mine

Do not touch me 

Do not comment on my appearance 

Do not look at me as if I am nothing 

Do not act like I am yours

I am me

When will you see that I am mine

I own myself 

And yet you still seem

To control me

Do not deny

What you have done

Do not say

I liked it 

Do not talk

About me and ignore my existence 

When will you see that I am mine

When will it be clear what not to do 

I am me

You don’t own me

Stop acting like you do

I am everything you wish you were 

Stop

Don’t even dare

She is hers

I am mine

  • Cinderella

    Cinderella 

    With her strong arms 

    From scrubbing the floors 

    Cinderella 

    With her patience 

    From working with horrible people 

    Cinderella 

    With her kind heart 

  • The little leaf

    Every day

    At a 3

    I would walk home

    Taking the same path

    In fall I would admire

    The trees and colors

    One evening I saw a tree

    With one little leaf

    It was bright red

    Standing out against

  • Each time

    Each time a leaf falls

    Another heart shatters

    Each time the wind blows

    Another break up

    But each time a pumpkin is carved

    A date is planned

    Each time a cider donut is devoured

    Another kiss
