You don’t own me, I don’t owe you.

You don’t own me, I don’t owe you.

You don’t own me, world.
And, I don’t owe you.

You don’t own me, fear.
And, I don’t owe you.

You don’t own me, family.
And, I don’t owe you.

You don’t own me, feelings.
And, I don’t owe you.

You don’t own me, friends.
And, I don’t owe you.

You don’t own me, job.
And, I don’t owe you.

I CHOOSE to:

Love.
Work.
Try.
Give.
Do.
Be.
Have.
Want.
Withhold.
Make do.
Don’t do.
Don’t be.
Laugh.
Cry.
Live.
Sit.
Run.
Walk.
Refuse.
Acquiese.
Digest.
Listen.
Learn.
Act, accordingly.
Act, stupidly.
Act.
Don’t act.
Don’t try.

You don’t own me.
I don’t owe you.

Take back, your chains.
I have no need of them.

Take back, YOUR perceptions, of me.
I take back, my perceptions, of you.

I don’t know you, not really.
You don’t know me, not really.

Let us agree, to disagree.

Let us begin, again.
Let us, begin, slowly, to learn.

Each, the other.
The other, about each.

Until, we agree that…

You don’t own me.
I don’t owe you.

With this knowledge, let us begin, anew.

Me, for you.
You, for me.

We.

Together.

Now, I give you, me, freely.

Why?

Because I owe you the best of me, freely choosing.

Why?

Because I own me, and I have given me, permission to choose, to be, to do. And, insodoing, I choose all of you.

Must you choose me?

Nope.

choosing you,
Me
