Alone

You gave me a purpose

before I was born

while in the womb

you thought I was yours

alone

You secretly whispered

kept me pinned inside

with words of fear

we, against the world

alone

I was not born

for the job you gave me

I am not here for you

alone

I am here

as an answer

for others as well

as you

alone


same as you.


So let me be, woman!

give me some space

find those others

you are here for

outside of me

alone.
