I OWN YOU
"I own you!" He may as well have said Between the lines In every argument And especially When the lights are off And his power's in the bed. You'd be dead! In an emotional way Were you to say "But I'm free! I own me!" "I own you!" A silent sentiment Bent On controlling you; Everything you feel or do. "I own you!" Rants this unfortunate soul. "My self-esteem's not complete Its damaged. Deceit ! As a person I'm not fulfilled. I'm not whole. I'm a farce; a scam; a cheat!" "I own you!" You hear it in your home And in your workplace A slap in the face A disgrace that Typifies most men As in their greed To succeed They sow the seeds of bitter resentment. "I own you!" You've heard it said silently Between whispered Praises and phrases Purporting to be love. Small wonder You are now free. Only now can you say">I OWN YOU
