Sheers

You must be a simpleton

if you think that I'm yours

You never once owned me at all,

I'm mine down to the core

You thought you had me in your hand

like I was your china doll,

but I am not your property

I don't need someone so dull

You thought you still had me tied to strings

like you're my puppeteer,

but they have been cut for so long

and I'm holding the sheers

-l.r.

What a great affirmation. The line "I'm mine down to the core" is the best.
I would love to see what you do with a story
