Claiming My Life Back

Give me back my life for it is my life
How dare you disown me what is rightfully mine
How dare you invade my territory and take ownership
Look how comfy you are in my space
Look how big you are in my boots

And look how petite you turned me out to be
By robbing me of my life
You robbed me my life and my soul
My identity and my sense of being
You robbed me my confidence
Give me my life back for it belongs to me

Give me back my life for it is not yours
Allow me to put myself together again
Allow me to stitch together the pieces of my being
The same pieces that you tore from me
Let me clean the mess you caused
In the process of reconstituting myself

I need to be one piece again so I can be alive again
I need to be whole again so I can have life again
Open your doors of greediness so I can claim back my pieces
Open your doors of selfishness so I can have my life back
I hope to find myself in these pieces you stole from me
I hope to define my image in them
Give me back my life for it is my life
Give me back my life for it is not yours.
