You think I don’t know your intentions for me?

You think I don’t know what you did
planting your seeds?
I know precisely what you did,
to get control of me.
I know exactly the moves you made
to get me to trade
my freedom and dignity, safety and peace,
even my children’s needs.
Such deception,
force and aggression
you display.
Such manipulation,
hate and oppression
you convey.
Condemnation, judgement and criticism
you portray.
One face after another,
a chameleon you are.
Whatever face suits your druthers,
for you there is no low bar.
You should spend at least half that time
on self reflection,
rather than analyzing my mind and performing your
“psycho analytical” inspections.
I know who you are,
I’ve seen you so many times before.
You can’t take no for an answer.
You have to be the one in control.
Yet the truth is,
you have no self control.
Your fantasies are dark, twisted and bent.
You think I will fulfill them,
you think you take my will.
I am stronger than you know,
and wiser then you think.
I know precisely how to handle you,
my life you can not take.
All other things are superfluous.
All other things can be released.
You think you can intimidate me,
by taking me?
I am stronger then you know,
and wiser then you think.
My body you may take
but my will you’ll never break.
My life is mine to manage,
and I shall always be free.
How does it feel to know that you had to lie,
cheat and steal to get a piece of me?
I remember everything, for I shall never forget.
I remember everything, for I shall never regret.
I was raised to be forgiving,
programmed to be saintly.
Yes I am highly empathic, intuitive and nurturing.
You use these as a weapon and turned them against me.
In doing so you were your own undoing,
these tactics are well known to me.
Good by and good riddance,
I will never go down that path again.
I AM MINE
I am not yours to take.
I am not your possession.
My will you cannot break.
I am not your woman.
I choose to whom my love is released.
I am not your child’s mother.
I would not allow the growth of your seed.
My will is powerful, you cannot force me.
Mind over matter, if I say no that is what I mean.
A miscarriage of justice has occurred here indeed.
Yet I still gave you the chance to turn from your greed.
At any point you could have ended the pain.
At any point you could have saved your seed.
Love, honor, respect and cherish,
these are the qualities I wanted to see.
Domination, threats, force and coercion,
these were the traits you displayed to me.
Did you really think that hijacking us would endear you to me?
Good bye and good riddance,
to you and your seed.
You will not force me,
you will not manipulate me.
You will not dominate me,
you will not break me.
You will not starve me,
you will not mold me.
You will not coerce me,
you will not take me.
