tiny poem on loss of ourselves to manipulation
You took my song and tainted it.
I listen with your ears and sing your tune.
I'm taking it back and making it mine.

You took my health and ruined it.
I breathe your smoke and inhale your fumes.
I'm taking it back and making it mine.

You took my face and painted it.
I wear your make up in shadows and stains
I'm taking it back and making it mine.

You took my body and bent it.
I have your tone in muscle and fat
I'm taking it back and making it mine.

You took my clothing and altered it .
I have your look in fashion and style.
I am taking it back and making it mine.

You took my word and abused it.
I have your voice and speak with it.
I'm taking it back and making it mine.

You took my soul and corrupted it.
I feel your crime. And now it's time.
I'm taking it back and making it mine.
