The concept of mine

Image Source: Pinterest

There is this concept in the world, 

The concept of mine;

She is my daughter;

She is my wife;

She is my sister;

She is my lover;

She is mine!!!

Everyone and everything that calls me mine [mostly men] 

wants me to behave in a certain way,

their way,

And they tend to forget I am mine.

I would like to do things I love,

be it wearing clothes I love 

In the colour of my choice;

or decorating my room 

With the carpets,

the lamps,

and the blankets of my choice;

I would love to hang out with my friends 

not just at my house 

But also in a coffee shop;

I would love to choose a career of my own

maybe being a writer, 

or a singer,

or a doctor,

or anything, as a matter of fact,

But sadly,

I don't have the privilege to do this alone.

I am forced to be a beautiful, well-mannered doll

They should be able to brag about;

I am forced to be a puppet 

They intend to order around.

I am forced to be their valuable possession,

The thing that increases their value 

and respect in this world,

But, is this what I am meant for?

No,

I am a goddam woman

longing to be loved.
