You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys
Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
An' please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in anyway
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'll never stay
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
Heard this song sang absolutely beautifully tonight and it really touched me. I think these words are quite an apt description of what I was thinking and feeling not so long ago and how grabbing hold of some of the presented ideas has left me feeling able to breathe and totally... energized. Living my life, although not always a fun experience has been extremely empowering. That is who i am. I'm empowered. I don't mope, i don't answer to someone. I never have before and i'm sad i started doing that because i'm not a lap dog. I like to stand out, i like to stand up and being "obedient" is really less part of me than any of the other horrid things i've been called. And you know what? I don't fucking care what the cunts of this world think of me right now because i think i'm ahsum. (just for a bit)
